Question to y'all:
What type of API is expected between the spooler and the spooler's client?
i.e. How does your spooler serve articles to the client? Is it pretty much
expected to imitate the avid.cgi over HTTP etc., or is anyone writing a
spooler which keeps a persistent connection to the client, etc.?
A couple o'questions for Todd:
How far back does avid.cgi go? (I'm guessing 1.) How do you feel about
someone downloading, over a period of time, all the messages on LUGNET? It's
the packrat in me...
Cheers,
