always use getsockopt() to query the meaning of POLLERR, rather than
reporting "Unidentified socket error".
this is unlikely to have any effect when using select(), as that one
pretty much never signals exceptional conditions.
turns out that poll() may (and on linux does) signal POLLERR on
connection failure. this is unlike select(), which is specified to
signal write readiness in every case.
consequently, check whether we are connecting before checking for
POLLERR.
leave all the hard work to OpenSSL. this has several consequences:
- certificate chain validation actually works instead of throwing
around error 20
- the interactive approval is gone. i don't expect it to be useful
anyway, as mbsync is mostly a batch tool
- the code is much shorter
we did not check a valid certificate's subject at all so far.
this is no problem if the certificate file contains only exactly the
wanted host's certificate - before revision 04fdf7d1 (dec 2000, < v0.4),
this was even enforced (more or less - if the peer cert had been
signed directly by a root cert, it would be accepted as well).
however, when the file contains root certificates (like the system-wide
certificate file typically does), any host with a valid certificate
could pretend to be the wanted host.
unless an info message is explictly marked as a continuation, it must
terminate any pending line (typically the progress information) first.
debug output is not affected, as it is mutually exclusive with info
output, and no debug lines are left unterminated outside clear scopes.
- introduce sys_error() and use it instead of perror() and
error(strerror()) in all expected error conditions
- perror() is used only for "something's really wrong with the system"
kind of errors
- file names, etc. are quoted if they are not validated yet, so e.g. an
empty string becomes immediately obvious
- improve and unify language
- add missing newlines
- asynchronous sockets using an event loop
- connect & starttls have completion callback parameters
- callbacks for notification about filled input buffer and emptied
output buffer
- unsent imap command queue
- used when
- socket output buffer is non-empty
- number of commands in flight exceeds limit
- last sent command requires round-trip
- command has a dependency on completion of previous command
- trashnc is tri-state so only a single "scout" trash APPEND/COPY is
sent at first. a possibly resulting CREATE is injected in front of
the remaining trash commands, so they can succeed (or be cancel()d
if it fails).
- queue's presence necessitates imap_cancel implementation
this prepares the code for being called from a callback.
notably, this makes the imap list parser have a "soft stack", so the
recursion can be suspended at any time.
instead of returning a write()-like result, return only a binary status
code - write errors are handled internally anyway, so user code doesn't
have to check the write length.
