Hi all,
For they who are interested, I have just sent a newgroup
control article for local.test.υτφ8 so that you could
retrieve it and eventually process it (changing "local"
to whatever you want):
<news:newgroup-local-test-utf8-1264843277 <at> news.trigofacile.com>
Note for inn-workers
--------------------
I confirm it works fine with INN provided that we remove
the check for [^a-z0-9+_\-] in a newsgroup name (enforced
by controlchan). I suggest that we remove it in INN 2.5.2.
We can reintegrate a better check with allowed UTF-8 values
in future versions of INN.
Note for USEFOR
---------------
In case someone wants to see what the result is, you can use
news.trigofacile.com on port 119.
The trigofacile.test.υτφ8 newsgroup has been created in UTF-8.
It is readable by everyone.
If you want to post, authenticate with user "test" and password
"test".
The group properly shows up in LIST ACTIVE and LIST NEWSGROUPS.
