REQUEST EXIT

but only fetches the body of the article. =item head ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ], [FH] ) Like C

but only fetches the headers for the article. =item articlefh ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] ) =item bodyfh ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] ) =item headfh ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] ) These are similar to article(), body() and head(), but rather than returning the requested data directly, they return a tied filehandle from which to read the article. =item nntpstat ( [ MSGID|MSGNUM ] ) The C command is similar to the C

command except that no text is returned. When selecting by message number within a group, the C command serves to set the "current article pointer" without sending text. Using the C command to select by message-id is valid but of questionable value, since a selection by message-id does B alter the "current article pointer". Returns the message-id of the "current article". =item group ( [ GROUP ] ) Set and/or get the current group. If C is not given then information is returned on the current group. In a scalar context it returns the group name. In an array context the return value is a list containing, the number of articles in the group, the number of the first article, the number of the last article and the group name. =item ihave ( MSGID [, MESSAGE ]) The C command informs the server that the client has an article whose id is C. If the server desires a copy of that article, and C has been given the it will be sent. Returns I if the server desires the article and C was successfully sent,if specified. If C is not specified then the message must be sent using the C and C methods from L C can be either an array of lines or a reference to an array. =item last () Set the "current article pointer" to the previous article in the current newsgroup. Returns the message-id of the article. =item date () Returns the date on the remote server. This date will be in a UNIX time format (seconds since 1970) =item postok () C will return I if the servers initial response indicated that it will allow posting. =item authinfo ( USER, PASS ) Authenticates to the server (using AUTHINFO USER / AUTHINFO PASS) using the supplied username and password. Please note that the password is sent in clear text to the server. This command should not be used with valuable passwords unless the connection to the server is somehow protected. =item list () Obtain information about all the active newsgroups. The results is a reference to a hash where the key is a group name and each value is a reference to an array. The elements in this array are:- the last article number in the group, the first article number in the group and any information flags about the group. =item newgroups ( SINCE [, DISTRIBUTIONS ]) C is a time value and C is either a distribution pattern or a reference to a list of distribution patterns. The result is the same as C, but the groups return will be limited to those created after C and, if specified, in one of the distribution areas in C. =item newnews ( SINCE [, GROUPS [, DISTRIBUTIONS ]]) C is a time value. C is either a group pattern or a reference to a list of group patterns. C is either a distribution pattern or a reference to a list of distribution patterns. Returns a reference to a list which contains the message-ids of all news posted after C, that are in a groups which matched C and a distribution which matches C. =item next () Set the "current article pointer" to the next article in the current newsgroup. Returns the message-id of the article. =item post ( [ MESSAGE ] ) Post a new article to the news server. If C is specified and posting is allowed then the message will be sent. If C is not specified then the message must be sent using the C and C methods from L C can be either an array of lines or a reference to an array. The message, either sent via C or as the C parameter, must be in the format as described by RFC822 and must contain From:, Newsgroups: and Subject: headers. =item postfh () Post a new article to the news server using a tied filehandle. If posting is allowed, this method will return a tied filehandle that you can print() the contents of the article to be posted. You must explicitly close() the filehandle when you are finished posting the article, and the return value from the close() call will indicate whether the message was successfully posted. =item slave () Tell the remote server that I am not a user client, but probably another news server. =item quit () Quit the remote server and close the socket connection. =back =head2 Extension methods These methods use commands that are not part of the RFC977 documentation. Some servers may not support all of them. =over 4 =item newsgroups ( [ PATTERN ] ) Returns a reference to a hash where the keys are all the group names which match C, or all of the groups if no pattern is specified, and each value contains the description text for the group. =item distributions () Returns a reference to a hash where the keys are all the possible distribution names and the values are the distribution descriptions. =item subscriptions () Returns a reference to a list which contains a list of groups which are recommended for a new user to subscribe to. =item overview_fmt () Returns a reference to an array which contain the names of the fields returned by C. =item active_times () Returns a reference to a hash where the keys are the group names and each value is a reference to an array containing the time the groups was created and an identifier, possibly an Email address, of the creator. =item active ( [ PATTERN ] ) Similar to C but only active groups that match the pattern are returned. C can be a group pattern. =item xgtitle ( PATTERN ) Returns a reference to a hash where the keys are all the group names which match C and each value is the description text for the group. =item xhdr ( HEADER, MESSAGE-SPEC ) Obtain the header field C

for all the messages specified. The return value will be a reference to a hash where the keys are the message numbers and each value contains the text of the requested header for that message. =item xover ( MESSAGE-SPEC ) The return value will be a reference to a hash where the keys are the message numbers and each value contains a reference to an array which contains the overview fields for that message. The names of the fields can be obtained by calling C. =item xpath ( MESSAGE-ID ) Returns the path name to the file on the server which contains the specified message. =item xpat ( HEADER, PATTERN, MESSAGE-SPEC) The result is the same as C except the is will be restricted to headers where the text of the header matches C =item xrover The XROVER command returns reference information for the article(s) specified. Returns a reference to a HASH where the keys are the message numbers and the values are the References: lines from the articles =item listgroup ( [ GROUP ] ) Returns a reference to a list of all the active messages in C, or the current group if C is not specified. =item reader Tell the server that you are a reader and not another server. This is required by some servers. For example if you are connecting to an INN server and you have transfer permission your connection will be connected to the transfer daemon, not the NNTP daemon. Issuing this command will cause the transfer daemon to hand over control to the NNTP daemon. Some servers do not understand this command, but issuing it and ignoring the response is harmless. =back =head1 UNSUPPORTED The following NNTP command are unsupported by the package, and there are no plans to do so. AUTHINFO GENERIC XTHREAD XSEARCH XINDEX =head1 DEFINITIONS =over 4 =item MESSAGE-SPEC C is either a single message-id, a single message number, or a reference to a list of two message numbers. If C is a reference to a list of two message numbers and the second number in a range is less than or equal to the first then the range represents all messages in the group after the first message number. B For compatibility reasons only with earlier versions of Net::NNTP a message spec can be passed as a list of two numbers, this is deprecated and a reference to the list should now be passed =item PATTERN The C protocol uses the C format for patterns. The WILDMAT format was first developed by Rich Salz based on the format used in the UNIX "find" command to articulate file names. It was developed to provide a uniform mechanism for matching patterns in the same manner that the UNIX shell matches filenames. Patterns are implicitly anchored at the beginning and end of each string when testing for a match. There are five pattern matching operations other than a strict one-to-one match between the pattern and the source to be checked for a match. The first is an asterisk C<*> to match any sequence of zero or more characters. The second is a question mark C to match any single character. The third specifies a specific set of characters. The set is specified as a list of characters, or as a range of characters where the beginning and end of the range are separated by a minus (or dash) character, or as any combination of lists and ranges. The dash can also be included in the set as a character it if is the beginning or end of the set. This set is enclosed in square brackets. The close square bracket C<]> may be used in a set if it is the first character in the set. The fourth operation is the same as the logical not of the third operation and is specified the same way as the third with the addition of a caret character C<^> at the beginning of the test string just inside the open square bracket. The final operation uses the backslash character to invalidate the special meaning of an open square bracket C<[>, the asterisk, backslash or the question mark. Two backslashes in sequence will result in the evaluation of the backslash as a character with no special meaning. =over 4 =item Examples =item C<[^]-]> matches any single character other than a close square bracket or a minus sign/dash. =item C<*bdc> matches any string that ends with the string "bdc" including the string "bdc" (without quotes). =item C<[0-9a-zA-Z]> matches any single printable alphanumeric ASCII character. =item C matches any four character string which begins with a and ends with d. =back =back =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 AUTHOR Graham Barr =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1995-1997 Graham Barr.
