I know this is into deep old-timey esoterica, but SMTP and HTTP do not use telnet as an underlying layer. It's actually exactly the opposite — the telnet protocol does things that aren't what you want at all. It is just happening to work, because the telnet client in Fedora Linux (and most of them!) defaults to skipping Telnet protocol negotation — and because you're not sending anything containing IAC (byte 0xff). It's _handy_ that the end-of-line characters get converted to crlf, and for basic diagnostics the IAC problem doesn't come up, but it's still really not a tool _meant_ for the job. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
