[jira] Commented: (MIME4J-56) In nested multiparts outer boundaries are not recognized when parsing inner multiparts

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-56?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12613573#action_12613573 ] 

Stefano Bagnara commented on MIME4J-56:
---------------------------------------

Oleg, I'm sorry I'm not following you. Even if I'm working on the code now I don't fully grok all of it yet and I don't know what is the "reset hack" you talk about. Can you provide a patch (or give me more detailed instructions) against the streams-refactoring branch?

Thank you!

> 5.1.2.  Handling Nested Messages and Multiparts
>    The "message/rfc822" subtype defined in a subsequent section of this
>    document has no terminating condition other than running out of data.
>    Similarly, an improperly truncated "multipart" entity may not have
>    any terminating boundary marker, and can turn up operationally due to
>    mail system malfunctions.
>    It is essential that such entities be handled correctly when they are
>    themselves imbedded inside of another "multipart" structure.  MIME
>    implementations are therefore required to recognize outer level
>    boundary markers at ANY level of inner nesting.  It is not sufficient
>    to only check for the next expected marker or other terminating
>    condition.
