- We're having a problem with the MAILSERV channel with regard to encoding.
-
- A user sends a request for a file with encoding specified. MAILSERV responds
- with an error:
-
- Remote user sends:
-
- SEND/ENCODING=UUENCODE [TEST]VMSU2055.RELEASE_NOTES
-
-
- MAILSERV replies:
-
- Illegal encoding specified in command: SEND/ENCODING=UUENCODE
- [TEST]VMSU2055.RELEASE_NOTES
- Use the HELP command to get a list of legal MAILSERV commands.
-
- You get a similar MAILSERV response with:
-
- ENCODING UUENCODE
- SEND [TEST]VMSU2055.RELEASE_NOTES
-
-
- Here's the relevent portion of a MAILSERV_MASTER.LOG w/ master_debug:
-
- $ run pmdf_root:[exe]mailserv.exe
- Debugging enabled.
- Command limit set to 2147483647
- Maximum blocks per message set to 2147483647

- Command: ENCODING UUENCODE
- CLI$DCL_PARSE returned status of 196609
- Processing ENCODING command.
- CLI$DISPATCH returned status of 0
- Error in command. Ignoring remainder of message.
- Making response header.
- Closing the output message.
- Finished with this message.
- $ goto out1

-
- I went poking through the sources and found references to X-UUENCODE so I tried
- that.
-
- I got:
- Unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling
- \X-UUENCODE\
- Use the HELP command to get a list of legal MAILSERV commands.
-
-
- It seems as if the CLI is parsing the string correctly since it recognizes the
- proper keyword ("Illegal encoding specified" vs "Unrecognized keyword").
- Are all encodings implemented?
-
- Thanks,
