NNTP-Ext 2.11 The XROVER command |
---|
XROVER [range] The XROVER command returns reference information from the overview database for the article(s) specified. This command first appeared in the Unix reference implementation. The optional range argument may be any of the following: an article number an article number followed by a dash to indicate all following an article number followed by a dash followed by another article number Successful responses start with a 224 response followed by the contents of reference information for all matched messages. Once the output is complete, a period is sent on a line by itself. If no argument is specified, the information for the current article is returned. A news group must have been selected earlier, else a 412 error response is returned. If no articles are in the range specified, a 420 error response is returned by the server. A 502 response will be returned if the client only has permission to transfer articles. The output will be formatted with the article number, followed by the contents of the References: line for that article, but does not contain the field name itself. This command provides the same basic functionality as using the XHDR command and "references" as the header argument. 2.11.1 Responses 224 Overview information follows 412 No news group current selected 420 No article(s) selected 502 no permission |
