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.
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.
