I don't think there are either. I just recalled that Telnet did it one way, and suggested that also might be appropriate.

Well, for Telnet, I think there really is an established protocol, as well as a POSIX standard. But that's different issue. The OP can come up with what works best for him. "Works like Telnet" is not a standard.

Thinking about this a bit more, if the server is extended to compensate for any locale, that could be a lot of resources required on the server which may have many connections. If the server implements one standard, and each client translates to it's own locale, that seems easier to me, and also taxes the server much less. Just a couple of nickels....


things that way (and why should the user have any preferences in this
specific matter, except that it should work as advertised). Usually
the grammar is pretty specific about what consitutes a line.

However there is certainly no harm in applying the robustness
principle at both ends of every connection: be conservative in what
you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
