Various bugs/issues for discussion about wapsnmp

As a followup, I was thinking about the name GetTable. I'm not sure it's the right name. The implementation looks more like a (sub)tree walk. Table's in SNMP/MIB have a different context. i.e.

Wow, what a brilliant bug report ! Thanks. I am ashamed to admit, it explains a few things.

Issue number 3 has been fixed. This was actually a problem we encountered in production. I guess I read the standard and interpreted things a little too literally. It says all oid's start with .1.3. Wrong.

I'm hoping 39d42da fixes the GetTable problem.

I have followed suggestions 1 and 2.

Thanks for picking up the issues. I've been working with Sonia on her branch of GoSNMP and we're added quite a few new features: https://github.com/soniah/gosnmp

The more and more I dive into SNMP the more corner cases we come across. There are a lot of agent implementations out there and they all have their idiosyncrasy. It's hard work!

I like many of the concepts in WapSNMP and are looking at borrowing a few such as your concept of MustParseOid() and centralising the BER parsing code. I'm not sure what your plans are for the project. The two code bases are quite different, but l'm sure sharing knowledge would be well worth it.

Wow you've been hard at work on that branch. I'm hoping the project can become a full SNMP implementation for Go. Lots of things are being implemented in various branches, and I'd love to bring them together. I was hoping you guys would sign the Google CLA, and I would be able to really integrate your changes.

Do you think working like this would be possible ?

Personally I don't have any issue in signing the agreement. Is this because the code is internally used in Google?

[cdevr]

Well it's standard procedure for code that is maintained and used within Google. I don't know the exact details however.
