Thanks to <thierry@thomas.as>
-- Changes from Suck-4.2.5 -> Suck-4.3.0
* As of this version, my e-mail address has changed from
from bobyetman@worldnet.att.net to bobyetman@home.com
* changes to allow it to use SSL.
* rpost.c - added -i option, to ignore the
readonly opening response and try
to post anyway, since inn-2.3, when
using authinfo, still sends 201 code
meaning readonly.
- do_authenticate() - added print
statements to show start of, and
successful completion of authentication.
* suck.c - get_one_article_kill() - add test
for header_only mode when in stdout mode
to not download the body.
- get_one_article(), get_articles() - added
-bP option, to post articles during download.
