Subject: net::imap non RFC compliance?

Greetings,
  I'm a Ruby newbie, so I'm not 100% how to proceed.  I think the net/imap.rb does not handle Literal as per RFC.  I have 1.8.0, but I quickly browsed the cvsweb source code and do not see any changes where I would expect them.

RFC3501, section 4.3 
   <...> In the case of
   literals transmitted from client to server, the client MUST wait
   to receive a command continuation request (described later in
   this document) before sending the octet data (and the remainder
   of the command).

as far as I can tell, net/imap does not wait/look for ContinuationRequest before sending the actual Literal data.  

Can someone with more experience have a quick look.  If it seems to be an issue, how do I proceed, what information do I need to provide to ask for a 'fix'.

Thanks,
Dany
