[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBMAIL-46) POP Client Proxy

POP Client Proxy ---------------- Key: JBMAIL-46 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMAIL-46 Project: JBoss Mail ** Closed - moved to http://buni.org ** Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Andrew Oliver Original Estimate: 1 day Remaining Estimate: 1 day The POP client proxy mimic's a real POP Server however it translates the requests into the HTTP requests expected by: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMAIL-42 Expectations: 1. It issues the http://servername/POP/CONNECT on initial connection from the client and returns the greeting from HTTP Pop proxy which in turn is just returning the real server's greeting. From then on the jsessionid is associated with THIS connection to the client. 2. It hangs up on the client if it gets an invalid session from the server (avoid having to smartly implement the protocols to reconnect to a return to state and leave it up to the client to do that). 3. Server proxy is "locked down" to connect to only one host or set of hosts (so you can't use this to launch a distributed denial of service attack against a third party, sorry) Possiblities: 1. Could be a protocol implementation for JBoss Mail's framework that simply uses something like Jakarta Commons HTTPClient to issue commands to the server proxy. Thus you run parts of JBoss AS and JBMailServer on client and server. 2. This could be dumbly implemented to support ANY protocol if some standardization on the SERVER Proxy and Client Proxy can be thought of.
