I use curl in my Lua program to get new mail list. I am trying to send request like this

local head_command = "curl --connect-timeout 30 -fsm 30"
local server       = "imap.gmail.com"
local mail         = "***"
local password     = "***"
local port         = 993
local request      = "-X 'FETCH 86 BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)]'"
local curl = string.format("%s --url 'imaps://%s:%s/INBOX' -u %s:%q %s -k", head_command, server, port, mail, password, request)
helpers.async(curl, function(stdout, exit_code)
  naughty.notify { text = stdout, timeout = 0 }
end )

But only I get is

* 86 FETCH (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)] {54}

And I get response like this for any FETCH command.

I can get message HEADER if specify UID in url directly like

imaps://%s:%s/INBOX;UID=86/;SECTION=HEADER

It outputs this

  • Does "_message header_" mean the full set of message header lines? If so you could extract the subject from that set. Mostly it's plain text (but not always - see RFC2822). Or are you asking what a specific Gmail implementation is that will retrieve just a message subject? It's not really clear what you're actually asking for help with. – roaima Aug 20 '19 at 07:36

    Yes, I can get full message header, but I can't find SUBJECT field in it. I will edit my question, just a minute. – Kirill Bugaev Aug 20 '19 at 07:46
  • Looking at what you've provided I'd suggest that in this particular message there is no message subject. – roaima Aug 20 '19 at 08:37

I'm think that understand what is problem. Gmail sends response in several steps, curl outputs only first. I write lua code that can retrieve message SUBJECT. Something like this

local socket    = require "socket"
local ssl       = require "ssl"
local format    = string.format

local server   = "imap.gmail.com"
local port     = 993
local login    = "[email protected]"
local password = "***"
local params = {
    mode = "client",
    protocol = "tlsv1",
    verify = "none",
    options = "all",
}

local conn = socket.connect(server, port)
conn = ssl.wrap(conn, params)
conn:dohandshake()
conn:settimeout(5)

conn:send(format("123 LOGIN %s %s", login, password) .. '\r\n')
conn:send("123 EXAMINE INBOX" .. '\r\n')
conn:send("123 FETCH 86 BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)]" .. '\r\n')

local result = ""
while result do
    result = conn:receive()
    if result then
        print(result)
    end
end

conn:send("LOGOUT")
conn:close()

It outputs
