thunderbird sieve certificate issues

[Tim]

I'm new to the list, but I was directed here by a friend.

I believe I have found the problem, and I have a "hack", using that term
well beyond how it should be use.  The hack is NOT a solution, but it
does make it work.  Please, no one use this though!  It will most likely
cause other problems!  This is your first, last and only warning! :)
What it DOES do is identify the problem.

The problem is, that after the STARTTLS is sent, the response is being
handle like any normal command, but it can't be.

So, after doing a STARTTLS, it sends back the capabilities
automatically, ending in an "OK" line.  But the function that is
checking the response is SieveAbstractResponse(parse).  It does the code:

if (parser.startsWith("OK"))

But it doesn't, cause it looks like:

"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus...."
"SASL" "GSSAPI PLAIN"
"SIEVE" "...."
OK

(your results may vary ;)

So, the "hack" is to change the default case of that to be "OK"(in
SieveResponse.js):

     else {
         this.response = 0;
         parser.extract(2);
         return;
//       alert("Throwing exception for data: "+parser.getData());
//        throw "NO, OK or BYE expected";
     }

(as you can see, I have some alerts() in there to figure out what was
going on, so those are not necesary)


The REAL fix, is to have the response handled by whatever handles the
normal initial connection string.  I'm hoping there is someone on this
list who knows the code better than I do to fix this correctly. :)
Meanwhile, I need to go through the code and remove all of my alerts now. ;)

Hope this helps someone who has code access. :-D
