Tran Hong Quan commented on JAMES-4211:
---------------------------------------
> Where does this piece of code will live?
For now:
=C2=A0 - {*}protocols/api{*}: generic SASL SPI only, plus very small protoc=
ol-neutral support types.
=C2=A0 - {*}protocols/imap{*}: IMAP bridge/adaptation code, because IMAP ow=
ns SASL-IR decoding, continuation formatting, abort handling, and Authentic=
ateProcessor integration.
=C2=A0 - {*}protocols/smtp{*}: SMTP bridge/adaptation code, because SMTP ow=
ns AUTH command behavior and SMTP response formatting.
Maybe we can think about introducing a new *protocols/sasl* module if neede=
d, depending on how the POC goes?
