Patch #849407 proposes to change the meaning of the urllib reporthook so that it takes the amount of the data read instead of the block size as its second argument.
While this is a behavior change (and even for explicitly-documented behavior), I still propose to apply the change: - in many cases, the number of bytes read will equal to the block size, so no change should occur - the signature (number of parameters) does not change, so applications shouldn't crash because of that change - applications that do use the parameter to estimate total download time now get a better chance to estimate since they learn about short reads. What do you think?
