I am programming a simple IMAP client for gmail. As it is an assignment to use sockets and so on, i cannot use python's imaplib library. I encountered a problem within this code:
def connect(self, server, username, password, port=993):
self.socket.connect((server, port))
response = self.socket.recv(2048)
if response.startswith('NO' or 'BAD'):
return False
print response
# send username
self.sendData('a001 login {0} {1}\n'.format(username, password))
response = self.socket.recv(2048)
if response.startswith('NO' or 'BAD'):
return False
print response
self.sendData('a002 CAPABILITY\n')
response = self.socket.recv(2048)
if response.startswith('NO' or 'BAD'):
print response
return False
print response
return True
Everything works fine, until the second command to be sent. I'm not really sure, what i am in now.
Here is sendData which was asked:
def sendData(self, command):
lenght = len(command)
totalSendBytes = 0
while (totalSendBytes < lenght):
bytesSend = self.socket.send(command[totalSendBytes:])
if bytesSend <= 0:
return False
totalSendBytes += bytesSend
return True
After launching the program, i get response only to first command :
OK Gimap ready for requests from IPGOESHERE 47if12049394eef.11
CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 UIDPLUS COMPRESS=DEFLATE a001 OK [email protected] XXX XXX authenticated (Success)
Thank you in advance.
