Comment #4 on issue 1729 by jussi.ao...@gmail.com: Add support for telnet
commands in telnet library (esp break command)
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1729
Sorry this took a while. I am not that familiar with telnet, even if I am
the expert in our team :D
Using this summary from microsoft as a reference:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231866 (didnt want to read the gazillion
rfcs) it seems that indeed Telnet commands are always preceded by IAC and
they are one byte long. So the api looks good for that purpose.
Most of the named attributes in telnetlib are related to option negotiation
and dont make any sense outside of that context. Allowing writing any byte
sequence would allow negotiating new options with the server.. but lets
leave that for the next feature request. (If anyone ever needs that they
probably would extend the telnetlib anyway with their own python library.
Writing option negotiation to Robot does not sound like a good idea.)
I think the feature looks good as it is. Thanks for good work! :)
