----------------------
    Resolution: Unresolved

> Strict CRLF handling in Commons-NET FTP breaks compatibility with some FTP 
> servers
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: NET-620
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-620
>             Project: Commons Net
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: FTP
>    Affects Versions: 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
>         Environment: Java RHEL Linux
>            Reporter: Chris Collins
>            Priority: Major
>
> The fix for FTP.java in NET-401 to switch from using BufferedReader to 
> CRLFLineReader breaks the ability to connect to servers that have varying LF 
> and CRLF line termination in the banner.
> I've run into 2 different cases with slightly different banner configs, one 
> where you end up hung indefinitely by not reading far enough (this is the 
> sigquit from when it is hung):

> I do have hex data available to show the source data, but the end result is 
> there's a mix of 0d0a (CRLF) and 0a (LF) termination in the FTP banner (220-)
> I can modify the library to undo the NET-401 change, but ideally it'd be nice 
> to have a strictNewline type of setting you could set on the FTPClient object 
> to decide if you want to be ultra-strict, or ultra compatible. I will be 
> filing a defect with Cisco about this as well, but it would be great if the 
> FTPClient had the option to handle it instead of forced compatibility with no 
> options to relax it.
> This is kind of hinted at in one of the comments on NET-402 by Bogdan 
> Drozdowski on 12/Apr/11
> "So, on one hand, we stop supporting non-conforming servers (which could mean 
> that we're supporting less servers now), but on the other hand we're fixing a 
> bug that someone has found in a real-life system."
> Giving users the option to relax the conformity requirements (but strict by 
> default) would allow the end user to choose the option.
> Any thoughts on this?
