Here's the overview:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ChainRunner:
|
||
|
|
It's now a BLooper and it goes like this: Running the chain
|
||
|
|
triggers an 'INIT' message, which causes it to begin to load add-ons.
|
||
|
|
The constructor of the producer add-on calls ChainRunner's
|
||
|
|
GetMessages() routine with a list of unique ids to fetch. It then runs
|
||
|
|
through the list, passing in those, then calls any registered process
|
||
|
|
callbacks after the list is exhausted. Note that finishing the list *
|
||
|
|
does not* cause the connection to be terminated and the add-ons to be
|
||
|
|
destructed. Single pass add-ons (e.g. POP and Outbox) register a
|
||
|
|
process callback that calls ChainRunner::Stop().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MailProtocol/MailFilter:
|
||
|
|
No longer sets the unique id, because it's passed in. Calls
|
||
|
|
GetMessages(), and uses ReportProgress() and ShowError() methods of
|
||
|
|
ChainRunner instead of using the functions in status.h. Also sets SIZE
|
||
|
|
attribute in out_headers that contains the final downloaded size of the
|
||
|
|
message. Also now passed a ChainRunner instead of a StatusView.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's about it, really.
