Description José Carlos García Sogo 2003-02-01 14:28:44 UTC 
This is a copy of Debian bug #177278
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=177278)

I use email addresses that contain a "+" (plus character) for
subaddressing. According to the RFCs, this is perfectly legal.
However, when I give gnomemeeting an email-address with a plus in it,
it fails to register at the directory. As far as I could find out,
this applies to all directories. Therefore I think that this is likely
to be a bug either of gnomemeeting or a design bug of the XDAP
protocol used for registering.

BTW, Netmeeting refuses to register email addresses containing a plus,
which is only very slightly preferable. May be a hint for a protocol
problem, though.

Any update on this bug? Some versions have been released since it was
filled, and I don't know if this has been fixed.

Thanks
Comment 2 Konrad Podloucky 2004-12-08 23:01:17 UTC 
Apparently this bug still exists. I tried registering an address containing a
'+' without success. Without a '+' it works without problems.

This is gnomemeeting 1.0.2 (Debian package 1.0.2-5 on sarge)
Comment 3 Damien Sandras 2004-12-09 15:21:26 UTC 
That's more a problem on the server than on the client and we have nobody to
maintain the ILS server. ILS support will be dropped for GnomeMeeting 2.00.
Comment 4 Eugen Dedu 2009-05-25 13:40:16 UTC 
Damien, has ILS support been dropped?
Comment 5 Damien Sandras 2009-05-25 13:46:19 UTC 
Yes I think so.
