Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None
Priority: 1
Submitted By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: imaplib: incorrect quoting in commands
Initial Comment: imaplib incorrectly chooses to quote some arguments.
In particular, doing "UID FETCH # BODY.PEEK[]" results in the BODY.PEEK[] being quoted, and it should not (according to the RFC), which means the command fails. This is demonstrated below. It's possible (and likely) that other UID FETCH arguments are incorrectly quoted.
This occurs with anon cvs python of 16/3/04, and 2.3.3. Windows XP SP1.
I'm happy to provide more info if required, just let me know. I could try and work up a patch, but it would be better from someone really familiar with imaplib so that I don't screw up legitimate quoting.
import imaplib i = imaplib.IMAP4("server") i.login("username", "password") ('OK', ['LOGIN Ok.']) i.select() ('OK', ['38']) i.debug = 4 i.uid("FETCH", "96", "BODY")
29:14.23 > GKGP7 UID FETCH 96 BODY 29:14.40 < * 31 FETCH (UID 96 BODY (("text" "plain" ("charset" "iso-8859-1") NIL NIL "quoted-printable" 32 0)("text" "html" ("charset" "iso-8859-1") NIL NIL "quoted-printable" 368 10) "alternative")) 29:14.40 < GKGP7 OK FETCH completed. ('OK', ['31 (UID 96 BODY (("text" "plain" ("charset" "iso-8859-1") NIL NIL "quoted-printable" 32 0)("text" "html" ("charset" "iso-8859-1") NIL NIL "quoted-printable" 368 10) "alternative"))'])
i.uid("FETCH", "96", "BODY.PEEK[]")
29:17.04 > GKGP8 UID FETCH 96 "BODY.PEEK[]" 29:17.21 < GKGP8 NO Error in IMAP command received by server. 29:17.21 NO response: Error in IMAP command received by server. ('NO', ['Error in IMAP command received by server.'])
i.logout()
29:31.26 > GKGP9 LOGOUT 29:31.42 < * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down 29:31.42 BYE response: Courier-IMAP server shutting down 29:31.42 < GKGP9 OK LOGOUT completed ('BYE', ['Courier-IMAP server shutting down'])

Sorry, I missed the bit in the docs that points out that stuff is always quoted and that using () avoids it. Still, it does seem that imaplib would be doing it's job better if it followed correct quoting, rather than always quoting. It would certainly be easier to use for people familiar with IMAP, but unfamiliar with imaplib.
