Re: Mozilla (et al.) v. TCPIP FTP server

From: JF Mezei <jfmezei.spamnot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fine. Listing them is one thing. Now try to GET one of them.

But this is a VMS issue. [...]

I agree, but the client can solve the problem, too. (My wget is an
example.) Considering how long ODS5 has been around, which one do you
think is more likely to get fixed in our lifetimes?

I don't understand why Mozilla would filter out lowercase file names.
Perhaps they realise they are dealing with VMS and expect only legacy
file names.

That's your analysis, not mine. My example directories are on an
ODS2 disk, so all the names are upper-case, and Mozilla still loses some
names. (Did you _read_ that bug report?)

But I understand why you wouldn't be able to handle funky file names
with the ? in them because the FTP server itself has difficulty.

The FTP server does not _have_ difficulty, it _makes_ difficulty.
The server is happy as a bivalve. The rest of the world suffers.
