Apache Commons TFTP does not handle RFC 783 retransmits.
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: NET-410
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-410
Project: Commons Net
Issue Type: Bug
Components: TFTP
Affects Versions: 3.0, 2.2
Environment: Sun/Oracle JRE 6 update 20
Reporter: Chuck Wolber
org.apache.commons.net.tftp.TFTPClient
When a packet fails to be received,the looping logic in TFTPClient contains an
unlabeled "continue" in the TFTPTimeout blocks. This causes TFTPClient to go
back to the listening state in the innermost loop, rather than the sendPacket
label in the outermost loop (which will cause a resend of the missing packet).
Note: This issue is not as simple as adding the _sendPacket label to the
continue statement in the TFTPTimeout blocks. Doing so will expose the code to
the Sorcerer's Apprentice Syndrome as defined in RFC 1123 section 4.2.3.1
