The two sections were copied from the file I downloaded from page 44. So I know the new file contains the fix.

You apparently are using the older one, because you have to manually alter the code. There are two sections need to be changed.

When I said Proxy server, I was wondering if you were getting the old file instead of the new gateway_RC2.zip file. Your ISP could have a transparent proxy.

Edit, I just checked your site. Apparently the link for a new thread is working, but not the thread with inserted post. Because you changed the code around line 36?, but not the line 27?. :-)

Weirdness.

The reason I didn't change the code in 27? is that the code was identical to what you posted. I changed it anyway just now for grins, but if new threads are working (and it seems they are) then I can just wait for the problem to go away all by itself ;)

Thanks, lierduh!

Seems to be working just fine, lierduh - thank you very much.

One more thing I could use if you're still into developing this - can we get the gateway to honor an 'X-No-Archive: Yes' header?

thanks - I think after this I'll probably leave you alone for awhile.

cheers -

Allan,

Around line 748, find the code:
$response = $news->post(snip......)\r\nX-Originating-IP: $newthread[ipaddress]$ref");

change the ending to:

$response = $news->post(snip......)\r\nX-Originating-IP: $newthread[ipaddress]\r\nX-No-Archive: Yes$ref");

Edit: read your post again. You may be after something different. Do you want the forums to delete these posts after a while? hence does not archive them?

I want the forum to not pick them up at all, lierduh. Is it possible?

To clarify a little - Google (and before them, Dejanews) won't grab posts where 'X-No-Archive: Yes' is in the header. I need for posts with this header to not make it into my forums.

thanks - you've been swell on this.

Around line 153, find this line:

$thisheader=getHeaders(s..................

Add the following lines after that line:

I have not tested that. So back up your old file.:)

edit:

Didn't work, sorry :(

Would it be easier to parse the whole post (including header) for

X-No-Archive:<space>Yes

and just bail out of the whole import routine if the string exists? That'd get the damn thing, I'll bet ;)

Try
if ( trim($thisheader['X-No-Archive']) == 'Yes') {
or

if ( stristr($thisheader['X-No-Archive'], 'yes') {

Actually, the first one appears to be almost working now - but if someone with X-No-Archive set replies to a post made through the gateway the post is getting through.

If you compare alt.guitar.bass to my gateway of the newsgroup at http://ebassist.com - there's a poster named "Lynrd" who has X-No-Archive set.

If you look at the past couple hundred posts in the NG I haven't pulled one of his posts - but he just replied to a thread I started and the gateway pulled it in.

The thread I started was called "The final solution - or, 'Hey, Lynrd!'" - and I've got no posts from him in the last two days - although there are four or five in the newsgroup. But - when he replied to the post I made through the gateway the gateway picked it up.

Any thoughts?

I'm gonna try the two other lines you gave me to try.

thanks ;-)
