[issue25635] urllib2 cannot fully read FTP file

[keakon]

New submission from keakon:

I found the bug from this slide: http://sector.ca/Portals/17/Presentations15/SecTor_Branca.pdf

The second way cannot fully read the file.

import urllib2

url = 'ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-extended-latest'
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
data = response.read()
print len(data)  # 6653498

data = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
print len(data)  # 65536


It might be something wrong with the FTP server. It's OK when I read from my own FTP server.
