I think dot stuffing in news server is ok.
Here is the relevant code from package
org.apache.james.nntpserver.repository. As far as I know it is right.
--------------------------------------------
// this interface is used to read the data from client and stream it
// into server repository
public interface NNTPLineReader {
// reads a line of data.
// @return null indicates end of data
String readLine();
}
public class NNTPLineReaderImpl implements NNTPLineReader {
private final BufferedReader reader;
public NNTPLineReaderImpl(BufferedReader reader) {
this.reader = reader;
}
public String readLine() {
try {
String line = reader.readLine();
// check for end of article.
if ( line.equals(".") )
line = null;
else if ( line.startsWith(".") )
line = line.substring(1,line.length());
return line;
} catch(IOException ioe) {
throw new NNTPException("could not create article",ioe);
}
}
}
------------------------------------------------
Please tell me if you spot a mistake.
BTW. this is a different approach from SMTP DotStuffing code, not sure if
one makes sense over the other.
