Strictly not a Python question, but I wanted to know from the experience of others in this list.
Is this is valid ftp url? # file://ftp.example.com/blah.txt (an ftp URL) My answer is no. When we have the scheme specifically mentioned as file:// it is no point in considering it as ftp url (which should start with ftp://). If I go ahead with this assumption and fix a bug in stdlib, I am introducing a regression because at the moment the above is considered a ftp url. -- Senthil A real diplomat is one who can cut his neighbor's throat without having his neighbour notice it. -- Trygve Lie _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
