From 98c17b3aeee627b2191f3d6954ae44b741b368f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido van Rossum Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 18:51:23 +0000 Subject: Marc-Andre Lemburg notes about statparse(): """ The message ID is returned lowercased and there is no way to access the original ID the server sent. Now at least some news servers are very picky about the case of the ID and return errors when fetching articles with mixed case given a lowercased version of the ID. The solution is simple: remove the string.lower() call. """ (I might add that the lowercasing was probably introduced as a result of sloppy copy-and-paste coding; there's a string.lower in a similar piece of code a bit higher in the source, that makes more sense -- it's lowercasing the group name.) --- Lib/nntplib.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Lib/nntplib.py b/Lib/nntplib.py index 865041f..21649a0 100644 --- a/Lib/nntplib.py +++ b/Lib/nntplib.py @@ -239,7 +239,7 @@ class NNTP: if n > 1: nr = words[1] if n > 2: - id = string.lower(words[2]) + id = words[2] return resp, nr, id # Internal: process a STAT, NEXT or LAST command -- cgit v0.12
