    Almost there...almost there... :-, —Jeremy H. Sproat
   Well, I finally got my streaming news client able to reply to messages (1) on LUGNET. It turns out I didn't need cookies after all! ...But then I vagualy remembered that this fact was mentioned in the past, but I haven't been able to find the (...)

     (...) Cool!!! (...) Well, cookies are an HTTP thing. If your client is posting articles, I think you'll find NTTP to be much simpler and cleaner for that. :-) All the HTTP posting mechanism does is opens up a single-use temporary NNTP session from (...)

      (...) ok, I'll ask for myself then - is it ok if I do call it LugnetReader? Since it's currently very lugnet specific, and I have no plans of expanding it further? It _can_ be done, just needs the nntp interface module written for it... But I've no (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

   (...) cool! just wondering, are you posting through the mail interface (like I do), or is it through NNTP? (...) very cool :) I'm a bit delayed in the cleaning up past (I hate it when work gets in the way!) (...) Sure, go ahead - I don't have a (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

   (...) Well, I'm actually doing it through HTTP. Todd's point about NNTP being simpler (1) has a lot of merit (and I've always wanted to write my own), but there is no standard (2) NNTP lib for Java that I know of. Not that the protocol is extremely (...) (24 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
