Well, I really like playing with nnweb... I've been doing so for an
hour or so. Lots of fun. Sure wish it worked as advertised though...
- altavista searches didn't work at all ("couldn't load group" or
something like that)
- dejanews searches worked but had lots of problems when actually
reading the articles. Mostly, it displayed the article full of html
code, which should be run through w3 or retrieve the text version
instead. Imediately after loading the article it bombs out with:
Signalling: (error "Keyboard macro terminated by a command ringing the bell")
ding()
gnus-error(1 "No such article (may have expired or been canceled)")
gnus-article-prepare(1 nil)
gnus-summary-display-article(1 nil)
gnus-summary-select-article(nil nil pseudo)
gnus-summary-scroll-up(1)
call-interactively(gnus-summary-scroll-up)
- Lots of errors creating groups:
format specifier %d doesn't match argument type
This then produces
Undefined definition map
when you try 'M-g' on most of the other groups.
- Sometimes you get an error like:
Connection failed, retry?
which happens at the same time as another buffer is displayed with
the warning:
A connection is alread in progress with search.dejanews.com
- When you actually try to read an article, it highlights the line as
'canceled' (ie, black background yellow foreground) but displays the
article (along with the above stack trace). At this point
gnus-summary-scroll-article-up or down fails and trys to read the
article above or below the current one even though the html'icied
article is much longer than a page and needs scrolling.
- Re-reading an article that you've already read once in the summary
buffer (without exit/re-entering) displays an empty buffer (and some
error I'm forgetting).
Wheee
Cool though!
Wes
