Commented Issue: Bodies Unavailable [10877]

ronrosenfeld — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 12:29:39 GMT

My newsreader (Agent) has started giving me occasional error messages about "bodies unavailable" for many message headers within the groups. It downloads the headers, but then claims the bodies are unavailable when I request it do download the actual body.

I have verified that the bodies exist in the forum.

Is this a problem with my newsreader or a new problem with the NNTP bridge?

Commented Issue: Bodies Unavailable [10877]

ronrosenfeld — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:36:32 GMT

I wrote too soon. The problem is still present. It could be a setting, but I can't figure out what. The problem does not occur with newsgroups from my regular news service (supernews), only with groups accessed via the NNTP bridge.

Suggestions?

For the past 24-48 hours, I have usually NOT been able to connect. My newsreader is showing errors, and I have inserted a portion of the error log showing the type of error. (Forte Agent version 6) (Bridge version 1.1.45.0)
Any help would be appreciated.

Commented Issue: Problem with References not fixed yet [8062]

kaisch — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:49:43 GMT

The problem with a folded References header isn't fixed yet. What happens is that my newsreader sends a folded References header, like:

References: <firstid@example.com>
<secondid@example.com>

The bridge then seems to read only the first line and so associates the article with <firstid@example.com> instead of <secondid@example.com>.

What the bridge should do is unfold this line to:
References: <firstid@example.com> <secondid@example.com>

and then pick the last Reference <secondid@example.com> for associating.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: kaisch **

Sent another two messages, one reply level 1 and one reply level 2, thru the debug window. I've attached the log for the reply level 2. Notice the error message "Invalid article number (0) for article 2ae9c231-cabf-48f9-907d-7329dd82a419 in group mvptestforum". This error message doesn't occur with the reply level 1. Looks like you either grab the wrong message-id from References or you compare the ids in References with an array of the thread's message-no.s and there's no match.

Just in case: that "\n" isn't in the actual message going out, of course. It's translated either to a LN or CR/LN (not sure which one) when the nntp client component connects and sends it out.

Jochen, it's definitely not fixed. I just checked against version 45 (btw, you should make it the "recommended release", otherwise one doesn't notice easily that there is a new version available). Compare my three posts in en-us.mvptestforum. The outgoing (third) message (with reply level 2) contains this reference:
References: <2ae9c231-cabf-48f9-907d-7329dd82a419@communitybridge.codeplex.com>\n <fc51c6e9-fa85-4a95-a8b9-bdf8f5483a67@communitybridge.codeplex.com>
but the incoming message <33e52bf4-1a47-434a-bedf-cb7bcb6e242e@communitybridge.codeplex.com> contains:
References: <2ae9c231-cabf-48f9-907d-7329dd82a419@communitybridge.codeplex.com>
it should be:
References: <fc51c6e9-fa85-4a95-a8b9-bdf8f5483a67@communitybridge.codeplex.com>

Closed Issue: Bridge Throws Error Instead Of Recovering When Web Service Throws Error On Deleted Message. [9553]

jkalmbach — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:11:06 GMT

The web service throws an error when a NNTP client requests information on an article that has been deleted. The Community Bridge does not recognize this error and re-throws it, causing the NNTP client (e.g., Outlook Express or Forté Agent) to time out, and retry the operation - which only repeats the same sequence of steps that led to the error. This makes it impossible for a client to retrieve messages from the group that has had messages deleted. Attached file contains an example of the error being thrown.
Comments:

There is now a hotfix with the work around. For more info see the latest patches:
http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/patches

Also a new release will be available soon which contains the workaround.

jkalmbach — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:24:56 GMT

The best solution would be, that the web-service would only return the existing messages...

I can try to do this work-around, but it is only a work-around which would made the bridge slower in some situations...

Attachment 3 (MSForumsErrorThrow3.txt) shows that the problem happens regardless of whether the messages are retrieved using LISTGROUP or XHDR; I had thought of the possibility that Agent would succeed in pulling the data via XHDR where LISTGROUP failed. I would guess at this point that the problem is connected with mishandling of database indexes in the Forum software and/or the Web Service.

(N.B. I have NOT trimmed this third attachment, in case the full response to the XHDR is required. The attachment referred to in my previous is Attachment 2, MSForumsErrorThrow2.txt. I will maintain the name, merely incrementing the number, as further attachments are requested/required.)

The group in question is the Hey Scripting Guy forum, NNTP name Technet.en-US.ITCG. The error is thrown when the message numbers are being listed; my client (Forté Agent) attempts to get a full list of message numbers when an attempt to retrieve a message by a specific number fails, as can be seen in the attachment. Clearly, when a single message is requested, and does not exist, the Web Service handles this properly, returning error 423 - but not when listing the message numbers en masse. The attachment was generated by asking Forté Agent to retrieve all messages since 11/10/2011 00:00. Note that Agent attempts to do a binary search to locate the beginning of the group of messages to be retrieved, and then tries to get a complete list of messages when one of the messages that should exist fails to do so.

This suggests a possible technique to work around the error; when the missing message error is thrown by the Web Service, the bridge might attempt to retrieve the messages/headers from that group of 150 individually, and then report back to the client based on the results of the workaround, as though the Web Service error never happened. I do not know how practical it would be to implement the technique, however.

Can you provide an example forums and example message id!?
Please activate the logging the the bridge and put also the logifle here, so we can see the group and messageIds, which causes this problem!
