/***
* NNTPClient encapsulates all the functionality necessary to post and
* retrieve articles from an NNTP server. As with all classes derived
* from {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient},
* you must first connect to the server with
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient#connect connect }
* before doing anything, and finally
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTP#disconnect disconnect() }
* after you're completely finished interacting with the server.
* Remember that the
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTP#isAllowedToPost isAllowedToPost()}
* method is defined in
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTP}.
* <p>
* 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
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPReply#SERVICE_DISCONTINUED NNTPReply.SERVICE_DISCONTINUED }
* response to a command.
* When that occurs, the NNTP class method encountering that reply will throw
* an {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPConnectionClosedException}
* .
* <code>NNTPConectionClosedException</code>
* is a subclass of <code> IOException </code> 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 <code> IOException </code>
* catch block. When you encounter an
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPConnectionClosedException}
* , you must disconnect the connection with
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTP#disconnect disconnect() }
* to properly clean up the
* system resources used by NNTP. Before disconnecting, you may check the
* last reply code and text with
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTP#getReplyCode getReplyCode } and
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTP#getReplyString getReplyString }.
* <p>
* 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
* {@link org.apache.commons.net.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.
