(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: knode Version: 0.4 (using KDE 2.1.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: Linux-Mandrake 8.0 i586 Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk) OS: Linux 2.4.2-11mdksmp i686 OS/Compiler notes: I wanted to send a link to a friend who uses konqueror/kmail/knode to a specific article on the news.povray.org news server. First point is definitely a feature request - provide a 'copy-link-location' feature somewhere to grab a url for a specific message. Second point is more of a bug report. I composed my own URL based on the guidelines I found at http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/draft-gilman-news-url-01.txt The URL I composed is: news://news.povray.org/3B21DD10.32DDED2F@pobox.com When I stick this link in a web page view the page in konqueror and click the link I get the error "No news articles could be retrieved for news.povray.org/3B21DD10.32DDED2F@pobox.com! The following error ocurred: 411 no such news group". Apparently Knode is not interpretting news/nntp urls correctly. I tried the same link in netscape and it worked without a problem. This is nothing terribly urgent - just worth noting. Thanks Ken (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)

I still have this same problem -- with the newer, 0.71 KNode. When I click on the following URL in Konqueror: news://news.blackalpinist.com/200211252350.gAPNooiR002217@ledorub.chem.purdue.edu the window (and the desktop) switches to the already running Knode, which promptly complains about the invalid message (and points me to groups.google.com). I know, it is lying, however, because the NNTP-server logs the request as ARTICLE <//news.blackalpinist.com/200211252350.gAPNooiR002217@ledorub.chem.purdue.edu> Looks like the URL is mis-parsed (index() instead of rindex() :-) ?) only the Message-ID part should be requested...
