The new protocols are as the subject says: IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. They
will include their SSL/TLS-based variations IMAPS, POP3S and SMTPS as
well as the "STARTTLS" approach to upgrade from plain connection to
SSL/TLS.
I've now committed my first big change supporting these new protocols.
They all work more or less, but my plan is now to work in-tree to get
them working correctly and I have POP3 working in the test suite, I
have IMAP almost working and I think getting SMTP in there should be
fairly easy too.
All "old" protocols should still work exactly like before, but since
this is the largest change to libcurl done in quite some time I expect
some things will need attention now.
If you want to help out with getting these new protocols up to speed,
then please go ahead try them out and get a feel for how they work and
join in. I expect to work in CVS from now on.
This is great! Thanks a lot.
I would love to try this out.
Unfortunately building dll's is one step too far for me. For many years,
I managed to survive using the off the shelf windows dll's plus some
simple glue in VC6.
