Reading a float as an int

[andresriancho]

https://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/issues/detail?id=93 explains the issue well:

1. on OSX using w3af itwill throw an error about:
   File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xdot.py", line 494, in read_number
   return int(self.read_code())

Upon opening the file i located the function read_number(). It is typcasting to an int from a string, therefore failing. To fix this I modified the function from:

def read_number(self):
    return int(self.read_code())

to:

def read_number(self):
    return int(float(self.read_code()))

It now evaluates the string, to a float first, then to an int()

Your code has changed a little bit now and instead of read_number you've got read_int, but I guess the same issue applies.

Users have reported this on the w3af project repository in the past andresriancho/w3af#1327 andresriancho/w3af#1089

I could send you a pull request with the changes that vekt0r@me.com proposes, but first I would like to know if you believe that this will fix the issue and you'll actually merge it.

A careful review of your code shows that some of your read_number were translated to read_float instead of read_int... hmmm... looks like this issue should be already fixed in 0.6. Could you confirm?

Thanks for feedback.

Yes, I believe this was fixed in e36b49b .

If you want to be extra sure, please provide the output of dot -T xdot ... and I'll check it.

Please update w3af's copy of xdot.py to the latest version.
