I understand why you'd like to make it a core feature, but this is not a mail client feature and I don't see it there. > The plugin API is certainly something we would like to use.

I'm afraid the plugin API is not prepared for this use-case. The first hook that is executed in a request is the 'startup' hook. You may try to use it to hijack the request to implement your service. Plugins are loaded before the session is started, output classes loaded, etc. So, technicly you could put a code outside of the plugin class (but still in the plugin file) to make it executed as soon as possible, but this is really a hack. -- Aleksander Machniak Kolab Groupware Developer [https://kolab.org] Roundcube Webmail Developer [https://roundcube.net] ---------------------------------------------------- PGP: 19359DC1 # Blog: https://kolabian.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Roundcube Development discussion mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
