GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 41182
some cases not handled properly by "ls" file type parser
Last modified: 2005-11-21 22:31:56 UTC
FIXME: there is a fixme with a specific case that will break. It might be tough to handle though due to amgibuity and variety of directory listing formats we can hit. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-08-02 10:59:28 ---- The FIXME is still in there. Perhaps the bug is fixed, but then the FIXME should be removed. Since there was no easy to test this, I decided to reopen the bug report. It would be good to add a little bit of test code for this function; then it would be easy to see if this is fixed or not. ------- Additional Comments From mathieu@gnome.org 2000-09-18 22:11:22 ---- ok, the ftp RFC does not specifies in any way the format of ls output. This means that to parse correctly the ourput of an ftp server, you have to handle all those evil cases and it is a pain (windows servers are different from UNIX servers which are themselves different between them) The correct way to fix this is to actually steal some code from an ftp library. The current code does not support spaces in file names for example. Bad stuff. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-11-28 11:57:33 ---- We need specific bug reports for actual observed problem. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-11-28 11:57:47 ---- problems, I meant. ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-07-23 00:37:15 ---- Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself. Will parse them out at my leisure , but many are GnomeVFS bugs we should look at for 2.0 ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:33 ------- The original reporter (pavel@eazel.com) of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the exporter, unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org.
MASS CHANGE VFS. Re-assigning bugs that I currently own in VFS to the proper owner (probably Alex).
Closing as INCOMPLETE. Please report concrete bugs :).
I use an FTP site with some directories named "2004" and "2005". Not only can I not enter such directories with Nautilus, I can't even specify the location in the location bar in a Nautilus window. It's clear from the names I see in the Nautilus window that the ls parser is incorrect. Instead of a directory called "2005" I see a directory called "drwxrwxrwx 2 galliher galliher 512 Nov 12 17:18 2005".
J.B.: That was reported as bug 163671 and fixed (at least WFM).
