  • Telnet CR-LF

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Fri Jun 7 14:34:42 2019
    Hi

    I've noticed magiterm which sends "CR-LF" when you press enter is causing "double enter" on some places particularly noticeable on castle rock when pressing enter then missing the oneliners, or pressing enter then missing
    the news on the dark tower game.

    I tried sending CR-NULL instead which is to send a carraige return by
    itself, but mystic doesn't cope with that not letting me log in unless i
    add an extra character.

    What should I be sending when someone pressed the enter key? I always
    thought it was CR-LF.

    Have you tried just sending the "CR"? I just checked in NetRunner, which I
    use to connect, and there is a setting "Send CRLF" and it's set to "NO", so I would assume it would just send the "CR"...

    Just kinda guessing here... :)

    The standard for Telnet is CR/LF, though CR/NUL is also acceptable. From RFC-854:
    Therefore, the sequence "CR LF" must be treated as a single "new
    line" character and used whenever their combined action is
    intended; the sequence "CR NUL" must be used where a carriage
    return alone is actually desired; and the CR character must be
    avoided in other contexts.
