LEMONADE - The other meaning!!!

Lemonade - As we all know is a refreshing, cool drink. Have you ever wondered what other meaning this word can have?

INGREDIENTS
6 lemons
1 cup white sugar
6 cups cold water

DIRECTIONS

Juice the lemons to make 1 cup of juice.

In a pitcher combine 1 cup lemon juice, 1 cup sugar, and 6 cups cold water. Stir. Adjust water to taste. Chill and serve over ice.

My favourite variant is to dissolve Jaggery in water instead of White Sugar.

Now that we know how to make lemonade, let's see the other meaning.

LEMONADE is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) technology being standardized for support of Mobile Email. The LEMONADE Profile was published as an Internet Standard (RFC 4550) in June 2006.

This profile allows clients (especially those that are constrained in memory, bandwidth, processing power, or other areas) to efficiently use IMAP and Submission to access and submit mail. This includes the ability to forward received mail without needing to download and upload the mail, to optimize submission, and to efficiently resynchronize in case of loss of connectivity with the server.

    Some quick queries on lemonade
    1. What is the provision for supporting attachment types?

    2. Is this technology OS independant?

    3. What are the competing protocols ? Is this IEEE standardized already or still an RFC?


    4. And finally, the million-dollar question about anything on the public domain - Is it secure from all the big bad worms/trojans/viruses of the world etc ??

    1. What is the provision for supporting attachment types?

    - It does have provision for attachment types suported by IMAP as it allows "No Store - forwarding".

    2. Is this technology OS independant?

    - Yes

    3. What are the competing protocols ? Is this IEEE standardized already or still an RFC?

    - Will need to check on the list.

    4. And finally, the million-dollar question about anything on the public domain - Is it secure from all the big bad worms/trojans/viruses of the world etc ??

    - It is not yet Secure from these, but as we already know, many protocols themselves do not build much security and many a times it is a common practice to build security tools around the protocols to make them secure.
