Julien ÉLIE <jul...@trigofacile.com> added the comment: A drawback is that CAPABILITIES will still being unsent after an upgrade of the news server to a more up-to-date version supporting the command.
If CAPABILITIES is not understood by the news server, it is not an issue. A 500 response code is usually answered by the news server, which is RFC-compliant. nntplib should then behave properly. (getcapabilities() returns an empty dictionary when CAPABILITIES is not implemented.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10287> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
