httpmail protocol

Hi,

I am writing an email application, I have implemented the POP protocol. I
noticed many email server also using httpmail protocol. However I could not
find any information regarding Httpmail protocol on Internet.

Anyone know where to get some docs regarding Httpmail?

httpmail is hotmail's (msn) private protocol, it is not documented. you
can reverse engineer it (some have), but it can change without notice
(and has).

I do not think it is a private protocol from Hotmail because several of our
email servers do support HTTP mail.

I believe hotmail updated their protocol in May, so this library will need to
be updated to support the changes.

That's right. They have a habit of doing this from time to time, usually to
a version which is (just slightly) incompatible with earlier versions...
so this library will need to be updated to support the changes.
I believe Dave Dunkin has abandoned it though, as it's GPL'd, anyone who's
interested could pick up where he left off...
