Hello,

Could you please redirect DigitalMars.com port 443 to 119?
That would allow many people behind proxies (most people at work) to access the newsgroups.

(many proxies permit, by default, HTTP CONNECT to port 443, to allow SSL to work)

Regards,
Luís

What's wrong with the web interface?

http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?search_txt=&group=digitalmars.D

As a test, I'm actually posting this using the web interface.. :)

Well, for starters my name was not correctly quoted :)

It seems much better than the previous software! :)

(still, I think the port forwarding would be useful. I access sourceforge's SVN behind a HTTP proxy with it, given that they use the same mechanism as I proposed)

RFC-2046 says about the text/plain Content-Type: """The default character set, which must be assumed in the absence of a charset parameter, is US-ASCII."""

Your name would have been correctly quoted if the charset parameter would have been set to 'utf-8', instead of being omitted...  :)
