#!/usr/bin/perl # # Script to retrieve a single article from a news server, either by # message-id or by group name and article number. # # Usage: nntpid # or: nntpid messageid (angle brackets optional) # or: nntpid news.group.name 1234 (group+number form) # or: nntpid -a news.group.name (download all available articles) # # The name of your news server is obtained from the environment variable # NNTPSERVER, or from the file /etc/nntpserver if that's not set. # # This script supports AUTHINFO GENERIC authentication using the # environment variable NNTPAUTH. It will only attempt this if it receives # a 480 response from the news server; if your news server isn't paranoid # then the script will never need to look at NNTPAUTH. # Copyright 2000,2004 Simon Tatham.
