[xmail] XMail CTRL protocol and international characters

[Michal Altair Valasek]

Hello,

I am finally working on new version of XMail-WAI. Is there any way, how =
to
pass non-7-bit characters trough CTRL protocol (for example as RealName
etc)?

I thought that Davide said that the protcol is working in UTF8, but no
matter how I try, when I pass anything non-ASCII, XMail drops =
connection.=20

Davide, is there any way, how to put non-ASCII characters to XMail (like =
my
name in correct Czech - "Michal A. Val=E1=B9ek")? If yes, how, please?

This is my proof-of-concept code, written in VB.NET. Works well for =
ASCII,
fails for non-ASCII.

    Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("   [connecting]")

        Dim S As String
        Dim TCP As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient("artex", 6017)
        Dim Stm As System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream =3D TCP.GetStream()
        Dim SR As New System.IO.StreamReader(Stm, =
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
        Dim Buffer As Byte()

        Console.WriteLine("   [waiting for reply - 1]")
        S =3D SR.ReadLine()
        Console.WriteLine("<< " & S)

        S =3D """administrator""" & vbTab & """password""" & vbCrLf
        Console.Write(">> " & S)
        Buffer =3D System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(S)
        Stm.Write(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length)

        Console.WriteLine("   [waiting for reply - 2]")
        S =3D SR.ReadLine()
        Console.WriteLine("<< " & S)

        S =3D """uservarsset""" & vbTab & """xmailserver.test""" & vbTab =
&
"""postmaster""" & vbTab & """RealName""" & vbTab & """Michal Altair
Valasek""" & vbCrLf
        Console.Write(">> " & S)
        Buffer =3D System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(S)
        Stm.Write(Buffer, 0, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(S))

        Console.WriteLine("   [waiting for reply - 3]")
        S =3D SR.ReadLine()
        Console.WriteLine("<< " & S)

        Stm.Close()
        TCP.Close()

        Console.Write("- - - Press ENTER - - -")
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub

Thanks,
