1 #!/usr/bin/perl
2 #
3 # Script to retrieve a single article from a news server, either by
4 # message-id or by group name and article number.
5 #
6 # Usage: nntpid <messageid>
7 # or: nntpid messageid (angle brackets optional)
8 # or: nntpid news.group.name 1234 (group+number form)
9 #
10 # The name of your news server is obtained from the environment variable
11 # NNTPSERVER, or from the file /etc/nntpserver if that's not set.
12 #
13 # This script supports AUTHINFO GENERIC authentication using the
14 # environment variable NNTPAUTH. It will only attempt this if it receives
15 # a 480 response from the news server; if your news server isn't paranoid
16 # then the script will never need to look at NNTPAUTH.
