... because it is anticipating the standard
TelnetCode: Select all
Mud Server name at somewhere or other....
login: <characterName>
followed by, once you have types your character name:
Sequence of events.
Importantly, Mudlet does not currently respect the Telnet ECHO (sub-option 1 IIRC) convention that it is a no-no for both ends to display the text going in one direction simultaneously - so that when the remote end says
it will do the echoing of characters
sent to it - we do not enable it and (temporarily) turn off
our echoing of what we
sent if the "Show the text you sent" option is enabled - which means that passwords are left visible in log files as that is typically when the Server will try to use a
IAC WILL ECHO to prevent the Client - in this case the Mudlet application - from showing such content that is supposed to be hidden...!
