Indeed, I've checked out 'netkit-tftp', 'atftp', and 'tftp-hpa' sources. All TFTP servers use either strcasecmp() or tolower() then strcmp() on checking the mode field. But all companion (TFP clients) send the mode field in *lower* case. > > By your reference, the QEMU server is what's broken - why not fix it > > instead? > > Gary, thanks for your expertise, then I will disturb qemu-devel list. FYI: they applied my patch, but it is unlikely that everyone loves build QEMU from sources :-) IMO, we could get the RedBoot's TFTP client be more compliant/tolerant, but can be the RedBoot on QEMU is rarely the case.
