I need to run exim -be with the same expression multiple times (Office365 OAutn2 access token response size is over 4K). The size of the expression is quite large. Entering this expression interactively many times will be very inconvenient. So far I have switched to passing the expression through stdin. But a few months ago I ran into the problem of passing some expressions through stdin. And then I switched to using passing expressions through a command line parameter. Now I can hardly remember what exactly were the problems with passing expressions through stdin. p. s. Due to the need to check for large HTTP responses, I had to change the size of debug_buffer from 2048 bytes to 8192 bytes in the src/debug.c file. A few years before I used 4096 bytes and that was enough. -- Best wishes Victor Ustugov mailto:vic...@corvax.kiev.ua public GnuPG/PGP key: https://victor.corvax.kiev.ua/corvax.asc -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
