Subject: [ruby-core:61479] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9627] SMTP does not properly dot-stuff an unterminated last line

Issue #9627 has been updated by Josh Goebel.


If I'm understanding this properly I think this monkey-patch is all it takes to fix it:

```
module Net
  class InternetMessageIO

    def using_each_crlf_line
      @wbuf = ''
      yield
      if not @wbuf.empty?   # unterminated last line
        write0 dot_stuff(@wbuf.chomp) + "\r\n"
      elsif @written_bytes == 0   # empty src
        write0 "\r\n"
      end
      write0 ".\r\n"
      @wbuf = nil
    end
  
    def dot_stuff(s)
      s.sub(/\A\./, '..')
    end
    
  end
end
```

You simply have to dot-stuff the remaining buffer if necessary...

str = "Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 16:02:26 -0400\r\nFrom: someone@aol.com\r\nTo: someone@aol.com\r\nMessage-ID: <5320bd52be4d3_6d653fd3d8c339e458df@Joshs-MacBook-Pro.local.mail>\r\nMime-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/plain;\r\n charset=UTF-8\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\nlook, a period with no endline\r\n."

      smtp = Net::SMTP.new(...)
      smtp.start(...) do |smtp_obj|
        response = smtp_obj.sendmail(message, "someone@aol.com","someone@aol.com")
      end
```

The SMTP server is going to throw a 400 or 500 error (depending on it's configuration) because the last period is send un-stuffed in the DATA block:

```
look, a period with no endline
.
.
```

When it should be:

```
look, a period with no end line
..
.

```

(ie, not dot-stuffed) and the second period the SMTP server doesn't know what to do with.  Adding an additional new-line fixes the problem, but I the in-line documentation for SMTP send_message does not say anything about a new-line being requires for message sending to work.

Sorry, I can't test against the latest Ruby right now, but this is confirmed against 1.9.3 r448.  If someone can confirm against newer that would be great.

I did do a search for "SMTP" and did not see this reported anywhere in the Issues database.

I had originally filed a pull request against Mail: https://github.com/mikel/mail/pull/683
