nntp.go

An NNTP (news) Client package for go (golang). Forked from nntp-go to bring it up to date.

	// connect to news server
	conn, err := nntp.Dial("tcp", "news.example.com:119")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("connection failed: %v", err)
	}

	// auth
	if err := conn.Authenticate("user", "pass"); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Could not authenticate")
	}

	// connect to a news group
	grp := "alt.binaries.pictures"
	_, l, _, err := conn.Group(grp)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Could not connect to group %s: %v %d", grp, err, l)
	}

	// fetch an article
	id := "<[email protected]>"
	article, err := conn.Article(id)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Could not fetch article %s: %v", id, err)
	}

	// read the article contents
	body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(article.Body)
	if err != nil {

	}
