[jira] Created: (JAMES-311) Nntp very picky with clients
Message:
A new issue has been created in JIRA.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-311
Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JAMES-311
Summary: Nntp very picky with clients
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Major
Project: James
Components:
NNTPServer & Repository
Versions:
2.2.0
Assignee:
Reporter: Rodney Crossman
Created: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 9:15 PM
Updated: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 9:15 PM
Environment: Tested on Windows xp Pro and Netware 6.5SP@ with Java 1.4.2_04
Description:
Cannot read messages posted by some NNTP clients.
For example, if a message is posted with Mozilla Firefox .72 or Groupwise client 6.5 and someone tries to read them, the client just hands and times out. Messages posted with Outlook express work perfectly fine.
This is only an issue if there is a message body. If the message consist of only the subject, then it doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Body:
I think we've hit the same problem, some ethereal debugging yields some info that might be helpful to somebody (sorry, no resources here to help out):
<pasting>
The NNTP protocol appears to use the sequence \r\n.\r\n to signal end-of-message. Using ethereal, we've determined that for the problem messages, the server is neglecting the leading \r\n (thus the period appears to be part of the message, and the client waits for a terminating sequence that never comes).
</pasting>
In our case, all the problem messages have come from Thunderbird 0.7.2 and 0.7.3

The following comment has been added to this issue:
Author: Louis-Philippe Gagnon
Created: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 2:27 PM
Body:
Some more investigating: it looks like thunderbird is not emitting a \r\n at the end of the message, while other clients (mozilla 1.5 in my tests) are. So the end of a thunderbird message is just \r\n.\r\n
while the end of a mozilla message ends with \r\n\r\n.\r\n
(line-ending for last line of the message, followed by the end-of-message marker. actually, in all my tests the end-of-message marker is being sent as a separate packet.)
I don't know whether it's legal for Thunderbird not to emit a newline at the end of its messages, but it's surely wrong for the server to misbehave as a result.
Note that manually adding newlines at the end of thunderbird messages makes the problem go away. Unfortunately, this doesn't help when attachments are involved.

I have seen exactly the same problem with Mozilla 1.7.3 too. If I send the note with several CRLF at the end, then it works fine.

Well, I commented this bug in the users distribution list and Daniel Perry commented a possible fix: <<change lines 1056 and 1192 of class NNTPHandler from writeLoggedFlushedResponse("."); to writeLoggedFlushedResponse("\r\n.");>>
I have rebuilt James 2.2.1 with this fix and the tests with Mozilla 1.7.3 and my own Java Client (using Jakarta Commons Net) have worked successfully.
