Using Pterodactyl Gnus v0.95, I tried to use the "G w" command to accept
dejanews. It tells me its contacting what seems to be the appropiate site
but then it hangs. Is something broken?

Well since we change our interface almost every quarter, I wouldn't be
at all surprised :-)
One thing, nnweb used the domain "dejanews.com", it would be easier
to go to "deja.com" these days, so you don't have to go through the
redirect baloney.
Cheers,
Doug

It would be nice if you could provide a "raw article" interface, so
that we don't have to go through the HTML interface baloney ;-)

they do. You can retrieve the original text format of an article with
Dejanews ID <did> as
<URL:http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=<did>&fmt=text>

Or you can do it by Message-ID (useful for articles that have expired
from the server you're currently reading):
(defun fetch-message-from-dejanews (message-id)
"Fetch MESSAGE-ID from DejaNews archive."
(interactive "sMessage-Id: ")
(w3-fetch (format "http://www.deja.com/msgid.xp?MID=%%3C%s%%3E&fmt=raw"
(url-hexify-string message-id)))
(let ((gnus-article-buffer w3-last-buffer)
(inhibit-read-only t))
(gnus-article-highlight)))
(defun fetch-message-from-nntp (message-id)
(interactive "sMessage-Id: ")
;; can use either `gnus-request-article' or `nntp-request-article' here...
(and (nntp-request-article (concat "<" message-id ">"))
(eval-and-compile
(condition-case nil (mapcar 'require '(url url-news)) (error nil)))
(url-format-news)))
(defun fetch-message-intelligently (message-id)
"Fetch MESSAGE-ID."
(interactive "sMessage-Id: ")
(save-excursion
(or (fetch-message-from-nntp message-id)
(fetch-message-from-dejanews message-id))))
[Lars, if you want to add something based on this, go ahead]

Coolio. Perhaps something like this could be added to nnweb to
fetch articles by Message-ID, and then one could just set
gnus-refer-article-method to the nnweb method?
