| Subject: | MIME::Fast::DataWrapper lacks write_to_stream method |
GMime's GMimeDataWrapper objects have the ability to be written to a
GMime stream (at least in 2.2, can't find documentation for earlier
revisions):
http://developer.gnome.org/gmime/2.2/gmime-gmime-data-wrapper.html#g-mime-data-wrapper-write-to-stream
Without this functionality, it is pretty hard to save the actual
(unencoded) content of an attachment you get with MIME::Fast::Part
get_content_object (you can use get_content, but this creates a massive
Perl string if you have a multi-megabyte attachment, and defeats the
whole point of MIME::Fast, which is to bypass Perl when possible).
Adding support for this is pretty trivial - I was able to do this and I
have never touched an XS source file before.
Also, thanks to Alex Keusch for the patch to support GMime-2.2.22
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=17654#txn-965344 (which
works fine for my RHEL5 GMime-2.2.26 as well)
