NNTP-Ext 2.11 The XROVER command

[Paul van Brouwershaven]

Hi,

Does anyone know a news server thats supporting the XROVER command,
currently I'am using the INN server but the command is nog working on this
server.

XROVER [range]

     The XROVER command returns reference information from the
     overview database for the article(s) specified. This command
     first appeared in the Unix reference implementation.

     The optional range argument may be any of the following:
         an article number
         an article number followed by a dash to indicate
              all following
         an article number followed by a dash followed by
             another article number

     Successful responses start with a 224 response followed by
     the contents of reference information for all matched messages. Once
     the output is complete, a period is sent on a line by
     itself. If no argument is specified, the information for
     the current article is returned.  A news group must have
     been selected earlier, else a 412 error response is returned.
     If no articles are in the range specified, a 420 error
     response is returned by the server. A 502 response will be
     returned if the client only has permission to transfer
     articles.

     The output will be formatted with the article number,
     followed by the contents of the References: line for that article,
     but does not contain the field name itself.

     This command provides the same basic functionality as using
     the XHDR command and "references" as the header argument.
