Description David ‘Bombe’ Roden 2008-05-14 08:31:38 UTC

Version:           1.9.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

With certain news servers KNode can not get the list of articles in a group, showing "error 423 - empty range" instead.

Comment 1 David ‘Bombe’ Roden 2008-05-14 08:33:37 UTC

The news server in question is FMS (Freenet Messaging System). Looking at the communication with Wireshark I see the following:

>> GROUP fms
<< 211 99 2 648 fms
>> LIST OVERVIEW.FMT
<< 215 Order of fields in overview database.
<< Subject:
<< From:
<< Date:
<< Message-ID:
<< References:
<< :bytes
<< :lines
<< .
>> xover 649-648
<< 423 Empty range

FMS’ responses look pretty okay to me, yet KNode requests an invalid range and thus gets an error message and can not show any articles.

The was fixed during the transition of knode from kde3 to kde4.
Since knode from KDE3 is not supported anymore, I'm closing this bug.
