FTP was previously the only protocol in + that family that libcurl supported, but when POP3, IMAP and SMTP joined the + team I moved some of the internals into a separate pingpong module to be + easier to get used by all these protocols to reduce code duplication and ease + code re-use between these protocols. + +FTP + + In 7.20.0 we converted code to use the new pingpong code from previously + having been all "native" FTP code. + +POP3 + + There's no support in the documented URL format to specify the exact mail to + get, but we support that as the path specified in the URL. + +IMAP + +SMTP + + There's no official URL syntax defined for SMTP, but we use only the generic + one and we provide two additional libcurl options to specify receivers and + sender of the actual mail. |
