Public bug reported:
the netcat version in the 17.04 does not work as before any longer.
Previously it would exit upon receiving input stream EOF and now it
doesn't. The one who made the change - do you realize how many old
scripts needs to be patched now? If there were a problem with the old
behaviour why didn't you add a switch to solve this particular problem
keeping the old interface intact, huh?
Now to restore the old behaviour one would need to add -q0 so that nc
exit immediately upon receiving EOF.
Affected nc version:
OpenBSD netcat (Debian patchlevel 1.130-3)
** Affects: netcat (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
