[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2: dict no longer really support DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE

[Bernhard Herzog]

Hi,

In dovecot 1.1, I could use DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE when iterating over a 
dict to retrieve all entries that start with a given prefix.  This doesn't 
seem to work anymore in the new dict implementation in dovecot 1.2.  Looking 
at the SQL queries actually generated, it seems as if dovecot 1.1 used to 
generate queries that use pattern matching (key LIKE "my/prefix/%") whereas 
dovecot 1.2 does not, so it's no wonder that it doesn't work in 1.2.

This probably has to do with the pattern matching for dict keys in the config 
file.  It would be enough for my purposes at the moment -- i.e. getting the 
metadata plugin to work with dovecot 1.2 -- if recursion were only possible 
for the last of fields in the pattern.

Regards,

   Bernhard
