The bug is not a firefox bug - it's a more fundamental one
because it can be reproduced by running poplib.py with
the same result : the connection times out.
To save you the tedious business of looking it up, have
reproduced the business end of poplib. py with some comments added :
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
a = POP3(sys.argv[1]) # give the ip address or server name
print a.getwelcome()
a.user(sys.argv[2]) # give your email logon id
a.pass_(sys.argv[3]) # give your password
a.list()
(numMsgs, totalSize) = a.stat() # poplib will list all
for i in range(1, numMsgs + 1): # the messages waiting
(header, msg, octets) = a.retr(i) # for you and display
print "Message %d:" % i # each one, leaving it
for line in msg: # on the server.
print ' ' + line
print '-----------------------'
a.quit()
Have tested with python 2.5 on XP, using my two email accounts
python poplib.py mail.ncf.ca fa839 passwd
python poplib.py 134.117.136.37 fa839 passwd
and
python poplib.py mailbox.ott.igs.net dmlee passwd
python poplib.py 209.197.142.120 dmlee passwd
and it all works well on XP. Fails with connection timed out
message on Ubuntu 6.06 using poplib.py from python 2.4 on the
Ubuntu machine : (socket error :('Connection timed out')
Also cannot connect to ANY https site using
Firefox 2.0.0.3 or to my email pop servers (mail.ncf.ca and
mailbox.ott.igs.net) using Evolution or Sylpheed on Ubuntu
6.06
Is this an ssh bug, then ? Hope this helps.
