Connecting to Yahoo! mail from Ruby
I try to connect t开发者_JAVA百科o mail Yahoo! account from Ruby using both net/imap and net/pop. But I randomly get error EOFile (from IMAP) or Connection Refused/Reset by peer (from POP). Has anybody tried to connect to Yahoo! Mail and had some experiences about it?
There's a bug in ruby's net/imap library that is exposed when connecting to Yahoo. The fix is straightforward and described here:
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4509
Basically, edit imap.rb and change the inner loop of search_response method from:
token = lookahead
case token.symbol
when T_CRLF
break
when T_SPACE
shift_token
end
data.push(number)
to:
token = lookahead
case token.symbol
when T_CRLF
break
when T_SPACE
shift_token
else
data.push(number)
end
then test with the following code:
require 'net/imap'
Net::IMAP.debug = true
conn = Net::IMAP.new('imap.mail.yahoo.com', 143, false)
conn.instance_eval { send_command('ID ("GUID" "1")') }
conn.authenticate('LOGIN', ARGV[0], ARGV[1] )
conn.select("INBOX")
uids = conn.uid_search(['ALL'])
puts uids.join(',')
conn.logout
conn.disconnect
