I've had a look through ihave.c and sockets.c in nntpcache 1.0.7.1 and belive I've found the reason why I was getting the errors previously mentioned. In attachServer() [sockets.c] the connection *always* sends a mode reader command when a connection is opened to a host. This is obviously going to bugger up any ihave attempts. sockets.c is full of GOTO statements. Goto's have their place, however the whole code structure is a mess and needs rewritten from scratch. Less assumptions should be made when opening connections, e.g. ihave.c should pass an arg to attachServer() saying 'I want an INN connection' so it doesn't do a mode reader command (and subsequent checking of the return codes). Also other attachServer() calls in Cfemit, etc need something similar. I've been on this list for a week now and yet I don't know *who* is writing / supporting nntpcache - is anyone or is it a pure volunteer effort?
