SNNTP Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The SNNTP Class is used to read, search, and post articles on Usenet news servers.

Syntax

ipworkssmime.Snntp

Remarks

The SNNTP Class is the S/MIME enabled equivalent of the IPWorks NNTP class. In addition to standard NNTP functions the SNNTP class can sign, encrypt, decrypt, and verify message signatures. The methods and properties for encrypting, signing, decrypting, and verifying signatures are identical to those provided with the S/MIME class. After setting the certificate properties, and specifying ArticleText, call the Encrypt, Sign or SignAndEncrypt method before posting, and the result will be stored in ArticleText. When attempting to verify a signed message or when decrypting a message, call the Decrypt, VerifySignature, or DecryptAndVerifySignature methods and the resulting text will be replaced in ArticleText.

The SNNTP Class implements a standard Usenet news reader as specified in RFC 977. It can be used to browse Usenet news groups and to read and post articles.

The CurrentGroup property sets the current newsgroup. From then on, news articles from that group can be read by setting the article number in CurrentArticle and then calling the appropriate method. Properties, such as ArticleCount, FirstArticle, and LastArticle, provide information about the current state.

The headers and text of the articles are received through the Header and Transfer events, respectively. Additionally, up to MaxLines from the article body are provided in the ArticleText property. The GroupOverview event returns information about a range of articles (OverviewRange) in CurrentGroup, and the GroupList event is used when listing newsgroup names. The PITrail event provides a trace of the interaction with the server.

The class supports posting of articles through the ArticleText and AttachedFile properties. The article text is specified in one or both of the above, and then the PostArticle method is called. Article headers are given in a series of properties, such as ArticleFrom, ArticleSubject, and Organization, that map directly to the Usenet article header with the same name.

ChangeCurrentGroup Method (Snntp Class)

This method changes the current group.

Syntax

public void changeCurrentGroup(String group);

Remarks

This method changes the current group. When calling this method, the class sends a Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) GROUP command to the NewsServer and enters the specified group. If the command is successful, FirstArticle, LastArticle, and ArticleCount are set to the reported values for the group.

Config Method (Snntp Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public String config(String configurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Connect Method (Snntp Class)

This method connects to the news server.

This method sets the stream to which the article downloaded from the server will be written.

Syntax

public void setArticleStream(java.io.OutputStream articleStream);

Remarks

This method sets the stream to which the article downloaded from the server will be written. If a download stream is set before the FetchArticle or FetchArticleBody methods are called, the downloaded data will be written to the stream. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0. The class will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is set to True (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call SetArticleStream again before calling FetchArticle or FetchArticleBody again. The downloaded content will be written starting at the current position in the stream.

Note: SetArticleStream and LocalFile will reset the other.

  ...
}

public class SnntpSSLServerAuthenticationEvent {
  public byte[] certEncoded;
  public String certSubject;
  public String certIssuer;
  public String status;
  public boolean accept;
}

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (Snntp Class)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

  ...
}

public class SnntpStartTransferEvent {
  public int direction;
}

Remarks

The purpose of the StartTransfer event is twofold: during article retrieval, it fires when the article body starts transferring from the NewsServer to the local host, and during article posting, it fires before the article body is sent to the NewsServer.

If ArticleText is not empty, the StartTransfer event is fired when the ArticleText starts transferring from the local host to the NewsServer. If ArticleText is empty, the event is not fired.

If a file is attached to the ArticleText via the AttachedFile property, then StartTransfer fires again when the file starts transferring. Please go to the description of the AttachedFile property for more information.

  ...
}

public class SnntpTransferEvent {
  public int direction;
  public long bytesTransferred;
  public int percentDone;
  public byte[] text;
  public boolean EOL;
}

Remarks

One or more Transfer events are fired during article retrieval. The Text parameter contains the portion of article data being retrieved.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the article, including header bytes.

One or more Transfer events are also fired during article posting. Articles consist of ArticleText and an optional AttachedFile. The BytesTransferred parameter shows the number of bytes sent starting from the beginning of ArticleText and/or AttachedFile.

The Transfer event is fired for every line of the article. For complete lines, there is no terminating newline at the end of the Text parameter, and EOL is True. The EOL parameter is False when a line is broken (usually for being too long).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
