test_urllib2net uses multiple public FTP servers. Since yesterday, there are issues with 2 FTP servers: (1) ftp://gatekeeper.research.compaq.com/pub/DEC/SRC/research-reports/00README-Legal-Rules-Regs => DNS server error $ host gatekeeper.research.compaq.com 8.8.8.8 Host gatekeeper.research.compaq.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) $ host gatekeeper.research.compaq.com 212.27.40.240 Host gatekeeper.research.compaq.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) (2) ftp://ftp.mirror.nl/pub/gnu/ * The FTP connection succeeded * Changing the directory to /pub/gnu succeeded * but listing the content of /pub/gnu/ takes forever... In Firefox, I get the error "425 Failed to establish connection".

Python 2.7 used ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/README whereas Python 3.4/3.6 uses ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README. Right now, ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/README doesn't respond. So I also modified Python 2.7 to uses ftp.debian.org as Python 3.4/3.5. Is there a FTP vulnerability in the wild and some public FTP servers are down because of that? Or is it a network connectivity issue?

For ftp.kernel.org, it may be related to a FS data corruption bug: 2015-02-03: FTP limited on mirrors.kernel.org https://www.kernel.org/ftp-limited-on-mirrorskernelorg.html "We've had to temporarily limit FTP access to mirrors.kernel.org due to high IO load."

> $ host gatekeeper.research.compaq.com 212.27.40.240 > Host gatekeeper.research.compaq.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) "What happened to gatekeeper.dec.com?" http://gatekeeper.dec.com/what-happened-to-gatekeeper.html Maybe we should use ftp://apotheca.hpl.hp.com/ instead?

> (2) ftp://ftp.mirror.nl/pub/gnu/ DNS resolution: $ host ftp.mirror.nl ftp.mirror.nl is an alias for download.xs4all.nl. download.xs4all.nl is an alias for dl.xs4all.nl. dl.xs4all.nl has address 194.109.21.66 dl.xs4all.nl has IPv6 address 2001:888:0:25:194:109:21:66 http://dl.xs4all.nl/ works well, but this site has no /pub/ directory. Is it related? See also "Dead mirror: ftp.demon.nl" https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2014-November/029113.html (but it doesn't look to be related) xs4all hosted python.org, I don't know if it still host the new CDN of python.org. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XS4ALL#Corporate_culture "XS4ALL also sponsors and hosts the sites of many free software projects, like Python, Squirrelmail and Debian."

test_urllib2net looks to pass on enough buildbots, I close the issue.
