/***
* The NNTP class is not meant to be used by itself and is provided
* only so that you may easily implement your own NNTP client if
* you so desire. If you have no need to perform your own implementation,
* you should use NNTPClient.
* The NNTP class is made public to provide access to various NNTP constants
* and to make it easier for adventurous programmers (or those with special
* needs) to interact with the NNTP protocol and implement their own clients.
* A set of methods with names corresponding to the NNTP command names are
* provided to facilitate this interaction.
*
* You should keep in mind that the NNTP server may choose to prematurely
* close a connection if the client has been idle for longer than a
* given time period or if the server is being shutdown by the operator or
* some other reason. The NNTP class will detect a
* premature NNTP server connection closing when it receives a
*
* NNTPReply.SERVICE_DISCONTINUED response to a command.
* When that occurs, the NNTP class method encountering that reply will throw
* an
* NNTPConnectionClosedException .
* NNTPConectionClosedException
* is a subclass of IOException and therefore need not be
* caught separately, but if you are going to catch it separately, its
* catch block must appear before the more general IOException
* catch block. When you encounter an
*
* NNTPConnectionClosedException , you must disconnect the connection with
* disconnect() to properly clean up the
* system resources used by NNTP. Before disconnecting, you may check the
* last reply code and text with
* getReplyCode and
* getReplyString .
*
* Rather than list it separately for each method, we mention here that
* every method communicating with the server and throwing an IOException
* can also throw a
*
* MalformedServerReplyException , which is a subclass
* of IOException. A MalformedServerReplyException will be thrown when
* the reply received from the server deviates enough from the protocol
* specification that it cannot be interpreted in a useful manner despite
* attempts to be as lenient as possible.
