Hi,
I just installed this for the first time in order to do scripted access to a server requiring starttls.
I am using 5.18.1, the Net-Imap-Simple is 1.2212. I have set tls version to tlsv11
It seems that in this situation the disabled ssl handshake prevents any useful work.
(I tried perl debugger on internals - ssl write is not called from print, as I would have expected.
Enabling the ssl handshake solves the problem
BTW: the local IO::Socket::SSL does not like the suggested "SSLv3 TLSv1" ssl version; it expects
colon for separator. The problem goes away when setting an explicit version in the new() call
Feature suggestion:
Since all ssl servers SHOULD offer at least AUTH PLAIN mechanism, this one is probably more common
than LOGIN. This sSimple addition for auth was tested against outlook365
sub auth {
my ( $self, $type, $user, $pass ) = @_;
if(lc $type eq 'plain') {
my $arg = encode_base64("\0$user\0$pass", "");
return $self->_process_cmd(
cmd => [ AUTHENTICATE => qq[PLAIN $arg]],
final => sub { 1 },
process => sub { },
);
}
else {
$self->errstr("only AUTH PLAIN currently supported\n");
return;
}
}
Best regards
