Back in 1999, when Rajendra Inamdar first offered us a patch for this feature, it was for 3.1.3. See http://www.htdig.org/htdig-dev/1999/11/0181.html However, at the time this was too radical a change to incorporate into the 3.1.x tree, so we suggested putting it into 3.2 instead. In the end, Rajendra ended up porting the patch to 3.2, and that was the one that made it into the CVS tree (for 3.2) and into the mail archives. However, 3.1.x users continued to request this feature, so at some point it made it into the patch archive... ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.3/htdig-3.1.3-nntp-mdb.tar.gz The patch also adds a couple other features, and it may take some work to adapt it to 3.1.6, but it's a start. If you don't want the nntp support in htdig, I think you can remove everything from the patch other than the changes to htsearch/* source files. There may be some complications due to interactions with the addition of max_excerpts handling in 3.1.6, as well as the changes involving coded vs unencoded URLs. There may also be a few other tricky bits in main() because of recent changes there. I'll see if I can clean up this patch a little. -- Gilles R.
