Detailed Description

A TCP/IP socket for the Post Office Protocol version 3.

When acting as a client, the procedure is to make the connection to a remote server, then to retrieve a message using the following procedure: PPOP3Client mail("popserver"); if (mail.IsOpen()) { if (mail.LogIn("Me", "password")) { if (mail.GetMessageCount() > 0) { PUnsignedArray sizes = mail.GetMessageSizes(); for (PINDEX i = 0; i < sizes.GetSize(); i++) { if (mail.BeginMessage(i+1)) mail.Read(myMessage, sizes[i]); else PError << "Error getting mail message." << endl; } } else PError << "No mail messages." << endl; } else PError << "Mail log in failed." << endl; } else PError << "Mail conection failed." << endl;

When acting as a server, a descendant class would be created to override at least the HandleOpenMailbox(), HandleSendMessage() and HandleDeleteMessage() functions. Other functions may be overridden for further enhancement to the sockets capabilities, but these will give a basic POP3 server functionality.

The server socket thread would continuously call the ProcessMessage() function until it returns false. This will then call the appropriate virtual function on parsing the POP3 protocol.

virtual PINDEX PPOP3::ParseResponse ( const PString line)
protectedvirtual

Parse a response line string into a response code and any extra info on the line.

Results are placed into the member variables lastResponseCode and lastResponseInfo.

The default bahaviour looks for a space or a '-' and splits the code and info either side of that character, then returns false.

Returns
Position of continuation character in response, 0 if no continuation lines are possible.
Parameters
lineInput response line to be parsed

Reimplemented from PInternetProtocol.
