I would like to use the NNTP client command "newnews" with the REBOL
nntp protocol to retrieve new messages since a specified date. The
command format through telnet is as follows:
newnews newsgroups yyyymmdd hhmmss [GMT]
Does the nntp.r binary simply send a command-line command through a
masked telnet session to the news server? Or does the nntp.r binary use its
own dialect?
The following script does not work...
REBOL []
do %nntp.r
nntp-host: news://news.host.dom
np: open nntp-host
result: insert np [newnews comp.sys.be.advocacy 200003 120000]
** Script Error: newnews has no value
How can I accomplish this, exactly? I want to be able to retrieve new news.
Thanks.
-Ryan
