Common NNTP Extensions

Release Notes: In keeping with the RKT design guidelines, the NNTP Extensions Internet Draft has been split up into over 40 separate files. (The complete draft is available at: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nntpext-imp-01.txt)
Revision History was developed by Mib Software. It is not part of the draft. It is presented only in the hope that it can be useful in making revisions to derivative documents and source code.
Mib Software generates Revision History by differencing from one version to another.

Abstract

    In this document, a number of popular extensions to the NNTP
    protocol defined in RFC977 are documented and discussed. While
    this document is not intended to serve as a standard of any kind,
    it will hopefully serve as a reference document for future
    implementers of the NNTP protocol. In the role, this document
    would hopefully create the possibility for some level of
    interoperability among implementations that make use of extensions.
