### Public Class Methods

address_encode(address, charset = 'utf-8') click to toggle source

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 167
    def Encodings.address_encode(address, charset = 'utf-8')
      if address.is_a?(Array)
        # loop back through for each element
        address.compact.map { |a| Encodings.address_encode(a, charset) }.join(", ")
      else
        # find any word boundary that is not ascii and encode it
        encode_non_usascii(address, charset) if address
      end
    end

b_value_encode(encoded_str, encoding = nil) click to toggle source

Encode a string with Base64 Encoding and returns it ready to be inserted as a value for a field, that is, in the =?<charset>?B?<string>?= format

Example:

    Encodings.b_value_encode('This is あ string', 'UTF-8')
    #=> "=?UTF-8?B?VGhpcyBpcyDjgYIgc3RyaW5n?="

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 204
    def Encodings.b_value_encode(encoded_str, encoding = nil)
      return encoded_str if encoded_str.to_s.ascii_only?
      string, encoding = RubyVer.b_value_encode(encoded_str, encoding)
      map_lines(string) do |str|
        "=?#{encoding}?B?#{str.chomp}?="
      end.join(" ")
    end

decode_encode(str, output_type) click to toggle source

Decodes or encodes a string as needed for either Base64 or QP encoding types in the =?<encoding>??<string>?=“ format.

The output type needs to be :decode to decode the input string or :encode to encode the input string. The character set used for encoding will either be the value of $KCODE for Ruby < 1.9 or the encoding on the string passed in.

On encoding, will only send out Base64 encoded strings.

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 105
    def Encodings.decode_encode(str, output_type)
      case
      when output_type == :decode
        Encodings.value_decode(str)
      else
        if str.ascii_only?
          str
        else
          Encodings.b_value_encode(str, find_encoding(str))
        end
      end
    end

defined?( str ) click to toggle source

Is the encoding we want defined?

Example:

    Encodings.defined?(:base64) #=> true

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 28
    def Encodings.defined?( str )
      @transfer_encodings.include? get_name(str)
    end

encode_non_usascii(address, charset) click to toggle source

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 177
    def Encodings.encode_non_usascii(address, charset)
      return address if address.ascii_only? or charset.nil?
      us_ascii = %Q{\x00-\x7f}
      # Encode any non usascii strings embedded inside of quotes
      address = address.gsub(/(".*?[^#{us_ascii}].*?")/) { |s| Encodings.b_value_encode(unquote(s), charset) }
      # Then loop through all remaining items and encode as needed
      tokens = address.split(/\s/)
      map_with_index(tokens) do |word, i|
        if word.ascii_only?
          word
        else
          previous_non_ascii = i>0 && tokens[i-1] && !tokens[i-1].ascii_only?
          if previous_non_ascii #why are we adding an extra space here?
            word = " #{word}"
          end
          Encodings.b_value_encode(word, charset)
        end
      end.join(' ')
    end

get_all() click to toggle source

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 44
    def Encodings.get_all
      @transfer_encodings.values
    end

get_encoding( str ) click to toggle source

Gets a defined encoding type, QuotedPrintable or Base64 for now.

Each encoding needs to be defined as a Mail::Encodings::ClassName for this to work, allows us to add other encodings in the future.

Example:

    Encodings.get_encoding(:base64) #=> Mail::Encodings::Base64

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 40
    def Encodings.get_encoding( str )
      @transfer_encodings[get_name(str)]
    end

get_name(enc) click to toggle source

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 48
    def Encodings.get_name(enc)
      underscoreize(enc).downcase
    end

param_decode(str, encoding) click to toggle source

Decodes a parameter value using URI Escaping.

Example:

    Mail::Encodings.param_decode("This%20is%20fun", 'us-ascii') #=> "This is fun"

    str = Mail::Encodings.param_decode("This%20is%20fun", 'iso-8559-1')
    str.encoding #=> 'ISO-8859-1'      ## Only on Ruby 1.9
    str #=> "This is fun"

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 93
    def Encodings.param_decode(str, encoding)
      RubyVer.param_decode(str, encoding)
    end

param_encode(str) click to toggle source

Encodes a parameter value using URI Escaping, note the language field 'en' can be set using Mail::Configuration, like so:

    Mail.defaults do
      param_encode_language 'jp'
    end

The character set used for encoding will either be the value of $KCODE for Ruby < 1.9 or the encoding on the string passed in.

Example:

    Mail::Encodings.param_encode("This is fun") #=> "us-ascii'en'This%20is%20fun"

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 73
    def Encodings.param_encode(str)
      case
      when str.ascii_only? && str =~ TOKEN_UNSAFE
        %Q{"#{str}"}
      when str.ascii_only?
        str
      else
        RubyVer.param_encode(str)
      end
    end

q_value_encode(encoded_str, encoding = nil) click to toggle source

Encode a string with Quoted-Printable Encoding and returns it ready to be inserted as a value for a field, that is, in the =?<charset>?Q?<string>?= format

Example:

    Encodings.q_value_encode('This is あ string', 'UTF-8')
    #=> "=?UTF-8?Q?This_is_=E3=81=82_string?="

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 219
    def Encodings.q_value_encode(encoded_str, encoding = nil)
      return encoded_str if encoded_str.to_s.ascii_only?
      string, encoding = RubyVer.q_value_encode(encoded_str, encoding)
      string.gsub!("=\r\n", '') # We already have limited the string to the length we want
      map_lines(string) do |str|
        "=?#{encoding}?Q?#{str.chomp.gsub(/ /, '_')}?="
      end.join(" ")
    end

      else
        str
      end
    end

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 140
    def Encodings.unquote_and_convert_to(str, to_encoding)
      output = value_decode( str ).to_s # output is already converted to UTF-8

      if 'utf8' == to_encoding.to_s.downcase.gsub("-", "")
        output
      elsif to_encoding
        begin
          if RUBY_VERSION >= '1.9'
            output.encode(to_encoding)
          else
            require 'iconv'
            Iconv.iconv(to_encoding, 'UTF-8', output).first
          end
        rescue Iconv::IllegalSequence, Iconv::InvalidEncoding, Errno::EINVAL
          # the 'from' parameter specifies a charset other than what the text
          # actually is...not much we can do in this case but just return the
          # unconverted text.
          #
          # Ditto if either parameter represents an unknown charset, like
          # X-UNKNOWN.

      else
        output
      end
    end

value_decode(str) click to toggle source

Decodes a given string as Base64 or Quoted Printable, depending on what type it is.

String has to be of the format =?<encoding>??<string>?=

    # File lib/mail/encodings.rb, line 122
    def Encodings.value_decode(str)
      # Optimization: If there's no encoded-words in the string, just return it
      return str unless str =~ ENCODED_VALUE

      lines = collapse_adjacent_encodings(str)

      # Split on white-space boundaries with capture, so we capture the white-space as well
      lines.each do |line|
        line.gsub!(ENCODED_VALUE) do |string|
          case $2
          when *B_VALUES then b_value_decode(string)

          end
        end
      end.join("")
    end
