Vernon,
I implemented the NNTP protocols for my web browser. Don't try to
pull the authority crap.
Yes, Phillip, NNTP _client_ protocols are PULL.
But your browser is not doing NNTP server-to-server protocols like real
servers do.
Server-to-server is PUSH. Please pay attention to the IHAVE/SENDME
commands in RFC977.
In fact, from the PUSH/PULLish view, NNTP is _just_ like the usual ISP
email setup:
server-to-server PUSH for both email (smtp) and news (nntp)
server-to-client PULL for both email (pop/imap) and news (nntp)
