Req #22444 [Opn->Sus]: Expose NNTP functionality in the IMAP extension

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22444&edit=1 ID: 22444 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: nathan at dstatement dot com Summary: Expose NNTP functionality in the IMAP extension -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Type: Feature/Change Request Package: IMAP related Operating System: * PHP Version: * Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: If you (or anybody) else is still interested in this feature, please forward your request to the internals mailing list[1], since it appears to be very controversial to add new features to the IMAP extension at this time, given that libc-client is unmaintained for years. At least that requires discussion for which this bugtracker is not suitable. For the time being, I'm suspending this ticket.

Currently the imap_* functions do not have any way to post a article to a newsgroup/NNTP stream even though the library supports reading NNTP groups and is quite good at it. The UW c-client library (on which the php imap_* functions are based) provides a function for this called nntp_mail, documentation of which can be found at: http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/internal.txt.html) The specific reference is: --- SNIP long nntp_mail (NNTPSTREAM *stream,ENVELOPE *msg,BODY *body); stream stream to transmit mail msg message envelope body message body This function negotiates an NNTP posting transaction to deliver the specified news message. This function returns T if success or NIL if there is any failure. The text reason for the failure is in stream->reply item; if it is associated with a recipient it is also in that address' address->error item. --- PINS I humbly ask that this function be implemented. Currently the only way to post is by fsockopen()'ing a connection to the news server which is contradictory to using the imap_* functions in the first place. Thanks! -n ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22444&edit=1
