These functions are called indirect because they connect to an intermediate host before actually connecting to the NNTP server. All of these functions and related variables are also said to belong to the "via" family of connection: they're all prefixed with "via" to make things cleaner. The behavior of these functions is also affected by commonly understood variables (see section 6.2.1.3 Common Variables).
nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet
nntp-open-via-rlogin-and-telnet
-specific variables:
nntp-via-rlogin-command
nntp-open-via-telnet-and-telnet
nntp-open-via-telnet-and-telnet
-specific variables:
nntp-via-telnet-command
telnet
the intermediate host. The default is
`telnet'.
nntp-via-telnet-switches
nntp-via-telnet-command
command. The default is `("-8")'.
nntp-via-user-password
nntp-via-envuser
nil
, the intermediate telnet
session (client and
server both) will support the ENVIRON
option and not prompt for
login name. This works for Solaris telnet
, for instance.
nntp-via-shell-prompt
Here are some additional variables that are understood by all the above functions:
nntp-via-user-name
nntp-via-address
