No, there isn't such an option in the official release now. But someone asked questions on how to do it some weeks ago. Perhaps he did it in a customized version. See http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2010-10/0077.html. Perhaps this kind of problems can justify we implement such an option. Daniel ? The preference order of authentication mechanisms in SMTP is arbitrary (defined by code test order). However I decided to prefer CRAM-MD5 over PLAIN or LOGIN because it does not transmit the password itself, thus being more secure.
#1 I understand your point of view but as you say some servers wrongly publish their authentication, so i think it will be quite useful to have a parameter to force certain authentication mechanism or else use the library choice if it is not set. what do you think? So this is normal since you established it's a server misconfiguration. In any case, the best way to fix it is to properly configure the server (or ask the ISP to do so!) #2not all ISPs allow this , I still think its better to adjust our ways to them for the library to be general as #1 And please, use different threads for different questions: a single mail containing 3 different subjects is hard to handle. Thanks. #3 sorry i will send the other issue in another mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
