httpmail protocol

[Guoqi Zheng]

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.
