[New-bugs-announce] [issue10817] urllib.request.urlretrieve never raises ContentTooShortError if no reporthook

[Robert Cheng]

New submission from Robert Cheng <robert.h.cheng at gmail.com>:

When reporthook is None, size variable is not computed and defaulted to -1. Thus, without reporthook, ContentTooShortError is not raised even when Content-Length header is supplied and download size is less than expected amount, contrary to the documentation.
