Attributes

status[R]

The three digit reply code of the SMTP response

string[R]

The human readable reply text of the SMTP response

Public Class Methods

new(status, string)

Creates a new instance of the Response class and sets the status and string attributes

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1000
def initialize(status, string)
  @status = status
  @string = string
end

parse(str)

Parses the received response and separates the reply code and the human readable reply text

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 994
def self.parse(str)
  new(str[0,3], str)
end

Public Instance Methods

capabilities()

Returns a hash of the human readable reply text in the response if it is multiple lines. It does not return the first line. The key of the hash is the first word the value of the hash is an array with each word thereafter being a value in the array

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1043
def capabilities
  return {} unless @string[3, 1] == '-'
  h = {}
  @string.lines.drop(1).each do |line|
    k, *v = line[4..-1].chomp.split
    h[k] = v
  end
  h
end

continue?()

Determines whether the response received was a Positive Intermediate reply (3xx reply code)

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1024
def continue?
  status_type_char() == '3'
end

cram_md5_challenge()

Creates a CRAM-MD5 challenge. You can view more information on CRAM-MD5 on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRAM-MD5

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1035
def cram_md5_challenge
  @string.split(/ /)[1].unpack('m')[0]
end

exception_class()

Determines whether there was an error and raises the appropriate error based on the reply code of the response

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1055
def exception_class
  case @status
  when /\A4/  then SMTPServerBusy
  when /\A50/ then SMTPSyntaxError
  when /\A53/ then SMTPAuthenticationError

  else             SMTPUnknownError
  end
end

The first line of the human readable reply text

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1029
def message
  @string.lines.first
end

status_type_char()

Takes the first digit of the reply code to determine the status type

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1012
def status_type_char
  @status[0, 1]
end

success?()

Determines whether the response received was a Positive Completion reply (2xx reply code)

 
               # File net/smtp.rb, line 1018
def success?
  status_type_char() == '2'
end
