testcase for broken Header\AbstractAddressList::fromString

[michalbundyra]

Problem:

1. GenericHeader loads the header in file, decodes it to utf-8
2. the Headers::get attempts to Lazy-Load "To" header class

Lazyload does stringify and load in from string

$encoding = $current->getEncoding();
$headers  = $class::fromString($current->toString());

However, toString does not encode comma
AND To header class does split on comma!

see \Zend\Mail\Header\AbstractAddressList::fromString

this PR shows only the problem.

toString invocation path:

• GenericHeader::toString
• GenericHeader::getFieldValue
• HeaderWrap::wrap
• HeaderWrap::wrapUnstructuredHeader
• HeaderWrap::mimeEncodeValue
• [Mime::encodeQuotedPrintableHeader]
• [Mime::_encodeQuotedPrintable]
• ... it got scary here

perhaps the fix is in zend-mime project:
zendframework/zend-mime#26

if it gets accepted!

after zendframework/zend-mime#26 being applied,
such code with Zend\Mail:

$headerLine = 'To: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?W=2C_bj=F8rn?=" <user@example.org>';
echo Mail\Header\GenericHeader::fromString($headerLine)->toString();

before:

To: =?UTF-8?Q?"W,=20bj=C3=B8rn"=20<user@example.org>?=

now:

To: =?UTF-8?Q?"W=2C=20bj=C3=B8rn"=20<user@example.org>?=

and

// with headerline without comma:
$headerLine = 'To: =?UTF-8?Q?"W=2C=20bj=C3=B8rn"=20<user@example.org>?=';
echo Mail\Header\To::fromString($headerLine)->toString();

To: =?UTF-8?Q?"W=2C=20bj=C3=B8rn"?= <user@example.org>

@glensc I think I'm not understanding something.

The original string includes an encoded comma (=2c).

Why should the comma NOT be encoded when the To header is cast to a string? Is it because of the different encodings (iso-8859-1 vs UTF-8)?

(I need to understand why your expectation should be the expected behavior, basically.)

@weierophinney it's combination of these two statements from Pull Description:

• However, toString does not encode comma
• AND To header class does split on comma!

i tried to explain the problem in test comments as well: https://github.com/zendframework/zend-mail/pull/146/files

if my explanation is not understandable (not sure i catched your question), just see the test code and how it behaves.

it's a lot of information and i dealed with this problem more than year ago....

so, this seemed the simplest way to solve the problem. it's not forbidden to zealously encode

as zendframework/zend-mime@73e6d05 was accepted in zendframework/zend-mime#26

this just updates unit test data.
