There's a unix2dos command (google) that'll "fix" the dos file cr/lf. It may help in your testing.

How are newlines defined in Zope objects? Are they the same across all platforms, or are they platform dependent?
If I do a binary FTP download of an object, am I guaranteed to have an exact copy of the original object?
It's always done the right thing for me. As far as I can tell, any data stored into a binary field (like File contents) or a string field (Document contents) is stored and returned as presented. ZPTs, being XML, may use \n only. But I do not speak with certainty: do you have experience to the contrary?
What I am trying to establish is what actually is the right thing, since I don't know.
I have a problem uploading news objects using FTP and it may have something to do with newlines. Other object types upload fine.
Some people have said that newlines have to be in Unix rather than DOS format, but I'm not sure if that is the case. AFAICT, it is only me who has this problem so I'm trying to establish exactly what Zope (or Plone) expect. What happens currently is that news objects are truncated at the blank line seperating the header from the body text of the file.
It seems like a Plone issue, but I get a bunch of abuse when I ask on that list.
