This takes the advice from
http://files.stairways.com/other/ftp-list-specs-info.txt
further: search for the date by an explicit occurrence of a known month
name. This means that we won't see files with bad names (they'd be
filtered out of the result), but the filtered out entries are ones that
would not be usable with `ftp-make-file-seconds'.
When the month is found, and the entry is a file, look for a number
preceding the month, and if found, return it as the file size string.
This is a minor change in the API. (But it's probably better to either
revise it further, or eventually make it irrelevant by exposing the
interesting functionality via `net/url'.)
This function was using 2002 when there's no year... Updated it to use
the last occurrence of the guessed date, as described at
http://files.stairways.com/other/ftp-list-specs-info.txt
This function still looks pretty bogus -- the RFC does *not* say
anything about the format of response to `LIST', so it's whatever
semi-random thing the server does. (The above link looks like an
attempt to fix it, but I didn't see anything more official than that.)
From some looking around, it looks like ftp clients just try a bunch of
patterns against the text. Add also warnings in the documentation about
this.
I originally picked "under" as the preposition to go before
a platform name, but obviously you should build "on" a
platform, and "under" suddenly annoys me. The choice of "on"
is now codified in the documentation style guide. Meanwhile,
"Unix" insted of "X" seems more clear and consistent in the
`racket/gui' docs.
More usefully, this patch also fixes a few out-of-date
platform-specific claims.
punctuations outside of the form, as it does with quote punctuations.
So things like this
#, @foo{...}
that required the space to make the @foo read as a scribble form are
now better written as
@#,foo{...}
This changes all such occurrences. (In case you see this change in
your files and are worried that there might be changes: I mechanically
verified that the result of `read'ing the modified files is identical
to the previous version.)
