           Summary: KNode considers "280" response an error
           Product: knode
           Version: 0.7.2
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: knode-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: Gunnar.Strand at tietoenator.com


Version:           0.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Solaris

Using KNode against an NNML news server which returns 280 on READER command will cause KNode to display an error dialog. I am by no means an expert on HTTP, but according to RFC911 all 2xx values are successes:

2xx - Command ok
x8x - Nonstandard (private implementation) extensions

It seems to me that KNode should accept 280 as a success and not an error.

I did: Action->Subscribe to Newsgroups...->Yes and KNode displays a dialog with the following text:

"Unable to connect.
The following error occured:
280 mode READER noted (x)"

This is what transcribed in the NNTP log:

Connection from uws121
200 NNML server 1.13 ready - posting allowed
mode READER
280 mode READER noted (x)
quit
205 closing connection - goodbye!
