Bug #9627
closedSMTP does not properly dot-stuff an unterminated last line
Description
str = "Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 16:02:26 -0400\r\nFrom: someone@aol.com\r\nTo: someone@aol.com\r\nMessage-ID: <5320bd52be4d3_6d653fd3d8c339e458df@Joshs-MacBook-Pro.local.mail>\r\nMime-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/plain;\r\n charset=UTF-8\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\nlook, a period with no endline\r\n."
smtp = Net::SMTP.new(...)
smtp.start(...) do |smtp_obj|
response = smtp_obj.sendmail(message, "someone@aol.com","someone@aol.com")
end
The SMTP server is going to throw a 400 or 500 error (depending on it's configuration) because the last period is send un-stuffed in the DATA block:
look, a period with no endline
.
.
When it should be:
look, a period with no end line
..
.
(ie, not dot-stuffed) and the second period the SMTP server doesn't know what to do with. Adding an additional new-line fixes the problem, but I the in-line documentation for SMTP send_message does not say anything about a new-line being requires for message sending to work.
Sorry, I can't test against the latest Ruby right now, but this is confirmed against 1.9.3 r448. If someone can confirm against newer that would be great.
I did do a search for "SMTP" and did not see this reported anywhere in the Issues database.
