Function Documentation

rwAddPeriods()

RWCString rwAddPeriods

(

const RWCString &

line

)

Returns a copy of line that replaces all leading periods following any newline character with two periods. This is a convenience function that you can use to reverses the encoding used by SMTP clients to transmit objects over the SMTP protocol. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

Header File

#include <rw/internet/util.h>

rwFtpAddrToString()

RWCString rwFtpAddrToString

(

const RWInetAddr &

addr

)

Returns addr converted to RWCString format. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

Header File

#include <rw/internet/util.h>

rwFtpStringToAddr()

RWInetAddr rwFtpStringToAddr

(

const RWCString &

addrString

)

Returns addrString converted to RWInetAddr format. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.

Header File

#include <rw/internet/util.h>

rwNormalizeLine()

RWCString rwNormalizeLine

(

const RWCString &

text

)

Header File

#include <rw/internet/util.h>

Returns the text argument normalized by removing <cr><lf> characters embedded in an RWCString.

rwRemovePeriods()

RWCString rwRemovePeriods

(

const RWCString &

line

)

Returns a copy of line that replaces all leading double periods and double periods following any newline character with single periods. This is a convenience function that you can use to undo the encoding used by POP3 servers to transmit objects over the SMTP protocol. The RWCString should contain 7-bit US-ASCII data.
