I just read Ned and Nathan's draft draft RFC and was wondering whether
there are already implementations available of the following: base-64
encoding and decoding, quoted-printable encoding and decoding,
building and splitting of multipart bodies, or splitting and combining
of partial messages?
I have implemented all this stuff as part of PMDF. If RFC-XXXX moves onto
the standards track I will release this work as part of the next regular
PMDF release.
I did quick and dirty implementations of base-64 and quoted-printable
in Python, and would be willing to write C versions, but I figure
there must already be such implementations -- I just don't know where
to find them.
PMDF is written in Pascal -- not the best source for C implementations of
anything. It is also a commercial product. We do provide source code with
the product, but it is copyrighted and may not be redistributed. I do plan
to distribute some simple utilities with PMDF that can be used to pick apart
multipart messages and decode them. These will be in the public domain if I
can separate them from PMDF proper in a reasonable way.
