Overview
The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) is used with servers
that provide news services. This is similar in functionality to
bulletin boards or message boards, where topics are organized
hierarchically into groups, called newsgroups. Users can browse and
search for messages, called news articles, which have been posted by
other users. On many servers, they can also post their own articles
which can be read by others. The largest collection of public
newsgroups available is called USENET, a world-wide distributed
discussion system. In addition, there are a large number of smaller
news servers. For example, Catalyst Development operates a news
server which functions as a forum for technical questions and
announcements.
The SocketTools library provides a comprehensive interface for
accessing newsgroups, retrieving articles and posting new articles.
In combination with the Mail Message library to process the news
articles, SocketTools can be used to integrate newsgroup access with
an existing email application, or you can implement your own
full-featured newsgroup client.
This library supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with any
programming language which supports calling functions exported from a
standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual C++ 6.0
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. You should
install all updates for your development tools and have the current
Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio
is Visual Studio 2010.
This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for your version of the
operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later
versions of the Windows operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it is
recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library, not
an ActiveX component, and does not require COM registration.
