Daniël van Eeden added the comment: As far as I understood the RFC:
A client should send CAPA and check if there is a SASL tag in the response (e.g. "SASL PLAIN"). =============================== +OK Dovecot ready. AUTH PLAIN base64_encoded_info +OK Logged in. LIST =============================== I've replace the base64 encoded authentication info with 'base64_encoded_info' For other authentication mechanisms the response can be longer (it may contain a challenge) and the request may only contain the mechanim. I don't have a server which supports anything else than AUTH PLAIN, so I could verify/test this. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33651/poplib_auth.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20352> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
