NNTPC: nntpcached will return old articles

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



nntpcached will happily return old articles which have been expired
on an upstream server, as long as they still exist in nntpcached's
own cache. However, the group and xover commands seem to track the
upstream server. Example:

group alt.sex.pictures
211 4031 286110 290911 alt.sex.pictures

xover 285696-286110
224 data follows
<only xover info for 286110 returned - but I can see from the *_xover
file on the nntpcache server that it has xover info back to 277504>

article 286108
220 286108 <330DF47A.7F52@knoware.nl> article
<and here the full article is returned>

I'm not sure I'd call this behavior a bug - but it is inconsistent.
