IETF RFC 2088
IMAP4 non-synchronizing literals
| Organization: | IETF |
| Publication Date: | 1 January 1997 |

| Page Count: | 2 |
scope:
The Internet Message Access Protocol [IMAP4] contains the "literal" syntactic construct for communicating strings. When sending a literal from client to server, IMAP4 requires the client to wait for the server to send a command continuation request between sending the octet count and the string data. This document specifies an alternate form of literal which does not require this network round trip.
