FTP was previously the only protocol in - that family that libcurl supported, but when POP3, IMAP and SMTP joined the - team I moved some of the internals into a separate pingpong module to be - easier to get used by all these protocols to reduce code duplication and ease - code re-use between these protocols. - -FTP - - In 7.20.0 we converted code to use the new pingpong code from previously - having been all "native" FTP code. - -POP3 - - There's no support in the documented URL format to specify the exact mail to - get, but we support that as the path specified in the URL. - -IMAP - -SMTP - - There's no official URL syntax defined for SMTP, but we use only the generic - one and we provide two additional libcurl options to specify receivers and - sender of the actual mail. |
