Pingpong is just my (Daniel's) jestful collective name on the protocols that
7
share a very similar kind of back-and-forth procedure with command and
8
responses to and from the server. FTP was previously the only protocol in
9
that family that libcurl supported, but when POP3, IMAP and SMTP joined the
10
team I moved some of the internals into a separate pingpong module to be
11
easier to get used by all these protocols to reduce code duplication and ease
12
code re-use between these protocols.
16
In 7.20.0 we converted code to use the new pingpong code from previously
17
having been all "native" FTP code.
21
There's no support in the documented URL format to specify the exact mail to
22
get, but we support that as the path specified in the URL.
28
There's no official URL syntax defined for SMTP, but we use only the generic
29
one and we provide two additional libcurl options to specify receivers and
30
sender of the actual mail.
