I must admit I'm not really sure what can be shared at this point. I added the NTLM authentication to SMTP and have been doing some work in POP3 so would say I'm familiar with both of these modules I've not really touched IMAP yet. My thoughts so far would lead me to believe that we will only be able to share definitions and encoding between the three protocols as whilst the authentication mechanisms may be the same the actual protocols are different.

Indeed ;-)

Cheers - Hopefully I will get some time this evening to take a look at your patch.

I think Daniel posted just before Christmas that the freeze would start on the 28th December and run until the 24th of this month.

I've been running modified versions of libcurl for the last 6 months myself (Currently running a modified version of 7.23.1 that I've patched with new features) and then every now and again I catch up with a release and apply any of my own patches to it if necessary ;-)

I will let you know my thoughts on the patch a little later.

Please also note that whilst I can review the patch I don't have the capability to push it to the GIT repository - presumably Daniel or Yang will do this after the 24th.

Cheers again

Steve
