Package: slrn
Version: 1.0.0~pre18-1.1
Severity: minor

If the configuration file has this option:

  server "nntp.aioe.org" ".jnewsrc-aioe"

it should use the .jnewsrc-aioe file whenever that server is accessed.
However, if the server is set as:

  export NNTPSERVER="snews://nntp.aioe.org:563";

slrn fails to parse the hostname of the server, and thus fails to use
.jnewsrc-aioe.  Instead, slrn tries to use .jnewsrc.

Workaround: The workaround is ugly.  All combinations of URLs must be
fully specified, e.g.

  server         "nntp.aioe.org"     ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server  "news://nntp.aioe.org";     ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://nntp.aioe.org:119"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server  "news://nntp.aioe.org:119"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://nntp.aioe.org:563"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://nntp.aioe.org:443"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://nntp.aioe.org:22";  ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://nntp.aioe.org:80";  ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server  "news://nntp.aioe.org:80";  ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server         "news.aioe.org"     ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server  "news://news.aioe.org";     ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server  "news://news.aioe.org:119"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://news.aioe.org:119"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
  server "snews://news.aioe.org:563"; ".jnewsrc-aioe"
