Subject: [PATCH v2] imap-send: URI encode server folder
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 23:55:46 +0530 [thread overview]

When trying to send a patch using 'imap-send' with 'curl' and the
following configuration:
[imap]
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
port = 993
sslverify = false
resulted in the following error,
curl_easy_perform() failed: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
That was a consequence of the not URI encoding the folder portion of
the URL which contained characters such as '[' which are not
allowed in a URI. According to RFC3986, these characters should be
"URI encoded".
So, URI encode the folder portion of the URL to ensure it doesn't
contain characters that aren't allowed in a URI.

I came across the same issue that lead to this patch recently and found
that this patch didn't make it in. So, I thought I could help out and
hence this v2.

I guess I covered this part.

I'm not sure about this one. I guess the host and user don't need encoding
as I suspect they wouldn't contain characters that aren't allowed. I might
be wrong, though. Let me know if I'm missing something.
Thanks,
