Subject: $! set to "Inappropriate ioctl for device" when using LWP::Simple getstore on files < 760 bytes

To: bug-libwww-perl [...] rt.cpan.org
From: "James C. Davis" <James.Davis [...] tamucc.edu>
When attempting to retrieve any file < 760 bytes using getstore from LWP::Simple, $! is set to "Inappropriate ioctl for device". The file is retrieved successfully, however. Reproduced on client systems: CentOS 6.5, Perl 5.10.1, LWP::Simple 5.827 Ubuntu 13.10, Perl 5.14.2, LWP::Simple 6.00 pulling from server systems: CentOS 6.5, Apache 2.2.15 CentOS 5.10, Apache 2.2.3 Example files: 760 byte file ($! not set): http://www.windwardweb.com/testfile1.txt 759 byte file ($! == "Inappropriate ioctl for device"): http://www.windwardweb.com/testfile2.txt -- James C.

I cannot reproduce this on a Linux Mint 13 system with perl 5.18.4 and LWP 6.08, and on a FreeBSD 9.2 system with the same versions: $ pistachio-perl -MLWP::Simple=getstore -e 'getstore shift, "/tmp/test"; warn $!' http://www.windwardweb.com/testfile1.txt Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. $ pistachio-perl -MLWP::Simple=getstore -e 'getstore shift, "/tmp/test"; warn $!' http://www.windwardweb.com/testfile2.txt Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1.
