[jira] [Created] (NET-390) FTPFile.toString() should return
formatted version of its fields, not the unformatted original
FTPFile.toString() should return formatted version of its fields, not the unformatted original
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: NET-390
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-390
Project: Commons Net
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: FTP
Reporter: Sebb
The toString() method in FTPFile currently returns the unformatted original string, which is not very useful.
It should return a String created from the parsed fields.

---------------------------------
That may be so, but what do you do about the users who may be using toString() to return the unformatted string and will now get something they are not expecting?

---------------------------------
A change like this would undoubtedly break existing users. A better idea would be a toFormattedString() method. But before someone dives into that, let's get a better idea of what you'd like it to see.

--------------------------
The original Javadoc says
{quote}
Returns a string representation of the FTPFile information. This
will be the raw FTP server listing that was used to initialize the
FTPFile instance.
{quote}
I read the first sentence as meaning that the representation is not fixed - it is "*a* representation".
I read the second sentence as meaning that the raw listing is the current representation.
But I take your point that some may have relied on the original implementation.
