Mail 1.4 InternetHeaders behavior difference compared to Sun's
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-2863
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2863
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: specs
Reporter: Daniel Kulp
Priority: Minor
The InternetHeaders object's parsing is less "forgiving" of headers that don't
meet specs compared to Sun's.
Sun's implementation allows headers to be using "unix style" (just LF) and will
parse them fine.
The 1.4 version of Geronimo's only breaks on the CR and then blindly consumes
the next char (should be the LF). If the stream only has LF's, everything is
read into a single header.
I know the spec says the stream should be CR/LF so the behavior is fine for
proper streams. However, it is a behavior change that COULD make it not a drop
in replacement for Suns. (in our case, we had some test data that were
"svn:eol_style: native" that passed on Windows, but not on Unix. Changing
them to "svn:eol_style: CRLF" fixed it.)
