I thought that it was supposed to print > '\r\n' because nntpcached did it:) What does the RFC say about this? RFC says \r\n. If you look at the inn source you will see that it also does \r\n, so I'm a little puzzeled myself. > (I found out by doing a diff through cat -v between the output from an > INN server and an nntpcached server and was puzzled at the sporadic ^M's.) > > PS Julian, did you see my mail about outbuf_used not being reset in xover.c? Yes.

No. The idea is that if a getbyarticleid was performed sucessfully the previous time CMDarticle was called, then when it is called the second time, the chances are that the second article will be on the same server as the first. This saves scanning the available servers for the article ID. It is primarily for this reason that there is a CurrentScfg as well as a CurrentGroupScfg, although from what you say, the mechanism isn't working 100% correctly. I've now added a CurrentIDScfg, which points to the last successfully handled <msgid> server. -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
