Description Darin McBride 2009-01-31 03:44:37 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

The NNTP server our ISP recently switched to has been causing KNode to hiccup when posting for a while now - I was hoping it was a server problem they'd fix, but apparently they won't, so I'm going to a backup solution: get knode to be more tolerant of errant NNTP servers.

Basically, if it has been a while since doing something with a connection, knode seems to think the connection is still open and tries to POST, which fails because the server seems to have forgotten about the connection.

So the hopeful "fix" would be to deal with 503 errors by reconnecting and retrying a reasonable number of times (probably once, but definitely no more than three more times).

When doing this manually (forcing knode to do more things and then going and resending the post), the server accepts on the second attempt.  It'd just be great if knode did this recycling automatically for certain errors, such as 503 (Program Error or Time Out).

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
