Here's a snippet of a transaction between a client and the Cyrus server
(sorry, I don't know the version - this was reported by a customer):
-------------------------- Cut here ----------------------------
13:33:00.687 << 0023 A28 STORE 16 FLAGS ()\0D\0A
13:33:00.687 >> 0045 A28 BAD Invalid flag name in Store command\0D\0A
-------------------------- Cut here ----------------------------
Now, leaving aside any issues with the aim of the command, is my
reading of RFC2060 correct that the command is legal as shown?
I believe the relevant EBNF is:
-------------------------- Cut here ----------------------------
store ::= "STORE" SPACE set SPACE store_att_flags
store_att_flags ::= (["+" / "-"] "FLAGS" [".SILENT"]) SPACE
(flag_list / #flag)
flag_list ::= "(" #flag ")"
-------------------------- Cut here ----------------------------
To me, this reads that any parenthesized list of zero or more flags is a
legitimate parameter to the command.
If this command *is* legal, then it seems to me that Cyrus shouldn't be
returning a BAD response - but I wanted to make sure that I'm not
misunderstanding the BNF or that this hasn't been subsequently
amended before passing it on to the developers.
Could I seek guidance from the mighty on this?
Cheers!
