OT NNTP in VB

Hi
While looking up refs on NNTP in VB I was amused to read the following (code in C#,
not on a MS site). I'm fading too and I just hope NNTP lasts as long as I do.

"NNTP is an older fading protocol in the Internet protocol family. The protocol is used to retrieve
news from news server, a.k.a. NetNews servers. The protocol works by posting messages into various
forums, a.k.a. newsgroups. Then other end-users can read the recent posts in the forums. There also
exist protocols for distributing NetNews contents amongst various NetNews servers, allowing
thousands of servers to share news and forums. The most popular news server is of course Microsoft's
[nntp://news.microsoft. com]. "

I'm trying to use imap_open to get news from a server that requires a user name and password. I'm using $nntp = imap_open("{".$newsserver."/nntp:".$port."}".$newsgroup, $newsuser, $newspass, OP_ANONYMOUS); and it's failing to connect.

Does anyone know of a library that allows easy interaction with NNTP? I'm not wanting to roll my own using PHP and sockets but want something similar to Perls News::NNTPClient. I've done a Google search and keep running into the Python library and the Perl library but nothing for PHP. Any suggestions? Thank, NightChild

Hi, I'm trying to build a simple Perl program to get a list of newsgroups. Here's what I have... #!/opt/local/bin/perl use Net::NNTP; $nntp = Net::NNTP->new("nntp.perl.org",Debug,10); $LIST=$nnpt->list; $nntp->quit; Can't call method "list" on an undefined value at ./getnntp.pl line 13.

Is it possible to send/receive nntp messages via CDOSYS without a 3rd party news component? The NNTP links I have found appear to be related to MS Exchange 2K. My goal is to write an ASP interface as a customized news reader. Roland

Does this exist in the.net framework ? I can't find it. I could find SMTP, though. If it doesn't, could anybody recommend a component suite that includes smtp, pop, nntp ? But mainly, that does include nntp. Thanks,

Have you seen any NNTP classes that I may use or build upon to build a simple newsreader/downloader? Is there such a class in the .Net framework that I have overlooked? If not, inclusion of RFC documented protocols would certainly be a good idea for a class hierarchy in the .Net classes. You could adopt and extend the classes at will. Who knows......maybe even improve one and get a new RFC implemented.

Ok, I do NOT want to *connect* to a NNTP server from PHP, I want to - from a NNTP client - connect to a NNTP server that is powered by PHP. Specifically, I want articles, forum posts and such from my web site to be readable via a NNTP interface. So, when the client connects to my server, a hierarchy might look like this: sandman.forum.gaming sandman.forum.media sandman.articles.weblogs

In some cases there is a lot of spam that gets filtered out of the nntp side, but makes it through to the smtp side (like that religious spam a few months back). But I see absolutely none of the google groups problems that Grant mentioned. I view my python list mail in gmail, and get about 1-2 spam messages a day in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
