Description of problem: curl doesn't process URL properly if it terminates in a directory without a trailing "/" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): curl-7.13.1-3 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "curl -l ftp://whatever/wherever/blah" 2. see directory listing for ftp://whatever/wherever, not the blah directory 3. be puzzled Actual results: Contents of parent directory listed Expected results: Contents of directory that the URL points to listed Additional info: It seems that the blah is completely ignored; whether or not blah exists (!), the parent directory is listed unless the URL terminates with a "/", in which case curl does the right thing.
This "bug" was filed in curl's own bug tracker as well, and I figure that is a more suitable place: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1364835&group_id=976&atid=100976
This problem is being solved in upstream.
