NNTPC: ":" in a path

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

 



The safePath routine in article.c does not allow ":" in a path but if you
are accessing news from a server that is on a port other than 119 all files in 
the cache are saved with paths that contain ":"s so you get a complaint logged 
every time you try and access an article from that server.

Mar  7 17:26:04 XXX nntpcached[1290]: article.c:41:Resource temporarily 
unavailable: path contained suspect characters: news.YYY:120/vuw/mlist/netbsd/b
ugs/4040

My fix is to allow safePath accept ":"s.  I can't think of any problem this 
would cause.

cheers
