Christian Heimes added the comment: RFC 3501 and 2060 (IMAP 4rev1) don't specify a line length
RFC 2683 says: A client should limit the length of the command lines it generates to approximately 1000 octets. For its part, a server should allow for a command line of at least 8000 octets. Some config files and code have values between 2k and 64k, usually around 8k to 10k, e.g. UW and Panda IMAP have a limit of 10,000 octets which is far more than what anything is ever likely to use. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16039> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
