Re: Luasocket FTP problem

[Stefan Sandberg <keffo.sandberg@...>]

What kind of logic is this??

We've already established that 'pasv' is no more correct than 'PASV', so 
it not a bug.

If 10% of all ftp servers fail to follow specs, you want to prevent 
luasocket users access to them because of some principle?

If something as trivial as this, with no negative side effects, fixes an 
evidently existing issue, regardless of who created the issue in the 
first place,
why even argue about it?

luasocket is a tool, like most other libraries, just solve the issue and 
be done with it, you're engineers!..
