OK, I think I know what you're trying to say here :) At no time was yum ever intended to fully implement or follow the FTP RFC (or any other RFC for that matter). The content-length hack was a reasonable choice to allow consistent behavior across multiple protocols. It is otherwise quite difficult to get sensible cross-protocol success/failure results. The uses for urlgrabber have since been expanded, and as a result, this restriction will be lifted. -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
