Hi! I noticed the ftp://xx/ URL handling is not conforming to RFC-1738 in Lynx 2.8.4
naomi:stein[]lynx -version Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6b Built on hpux11.00 Feb 5 2002 10:14:41 Example : - server : - name : srv1 - user : user1 - users home dir : /home/user1 - users file : /home/user1/example/userfile - "system" file : /tmp/example/sysfile behavior : URL : ftp://user1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/user1/example/userfile lynx : does work rfc : should not work wget : does not work URL : ftp://user1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/example/userfile lynx : does not work rfc : should work wget : does work URL : ftp://user1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tmp/example/sysfile lynx : works rfc : should not work wget : does not work URL : ftp://user1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//tmp/example/sysfile lynx : works rfc : should work wget : does work URL : ftp://user1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/%2Ftmp/example/sysfile lynx : works rfc : should work wget : does work ( wget is GNU Wget 1.7.1 ) As we see lynx does not conform to rfc 1738, while wget does. The problem is that lynx prepends a "/" to the path in the url : ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/p/a/t/h/file lynx parses this to : username : user password : pass hostname : host path : /p/a/t/h ( wrong ! should be : p/a/t/h ) filename : file Regards, -- David Balazic -------------- "Be excellent to each other." - Bill S.
