Hi,
Thank you for your comment.
I may be missing something.
But as I mentioned, in the SASL IMAP spec(
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4959) at Chapter4 Example of SASL-IR, there is no empty payload.
And I do not understand why there has to be any difference about empty payload between SASL Plain and SASL OAuth
