You're using calloc instead of malloc, right?

Calloc automatically zeroes the memory, otherwise odd things might happen.

Regardless, I added a non telnet version to the MSSP specification which should be easier to implement.


MSSP Plaintext

Since it's not feasible for every mud to implement telopt negotiations a plaintext alternative is available. Whenever a new connection enters the command: MSSP-REQUEST a Mud supporting MSSP Plaintext should send the following:

\r\nMSSP-REPLY-START\r\nvariable\tvalue\r\nvariable\tvalue\r\nMSS P-REPLY-END\r\n

If a variable has multiple values you can use multiple tabs:

\r\nMSSP-REPLY-START\r\nvariable\tvalue\tvalue\r\nMSSP-REPLY-END\r\n
