If there is no such class whats the best way to read all available data?
In case of ssl, SSL_pending returns the number of bytes in the queue.
Whats about socket's? is there a performance difference between reading
only one byte from a socket or multiple byte at one go? (the current
imap
client only reads one byte at a time till it found the stop byte) To
read
all available bytes, should I create a none blocking socket and read
into
a buffer till I get a EWOULDBLOCK? or does it also work with a blocking
socket?
Here is how I do it. I support only an SSL connection, and I use only
SSL_read() and SSL_write() to transfer data.
so you just read one byte in a SSL_read()?
The connection to the (each) IMAP server is implemented in its own
thread, which basically runs a read_port()/imap-command/imap-receive/
write_port() loop. The messages to the IMAP port may include one
that's sent on a pulse cycle, for a NOOP command. (Don't bother with
IDLE, it isn't worth the headache.)
actually I like the IDLE feature and will definitely give it try
you have write your own IMAP client? is it open source?
thanks,
Clemens
