[Lazarus] help with NNTP posting

[duilio foschi]

solved.

from

https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc977/rfc977.html

3.10. The POST command
...

   The text forming the header and body of the message to be posted
   should be sent by the client using the conventions for text received
   from the news server:  A single period (".") on a line indicates the
   end of the text, with lines starting with a period in the original
   text having that period doubled during transmission.


This code works ok:

var
alist:TStringlist // initialized elsewhere

   alist.Clear;
   aList.Add('POST');
   aList.Add('From: "peppepolpo" <octopushole at gmail.com>');
   aList.Add('Newsgroups: it.hobby.fai-da-te');
   aList.Add('Subject: test 201937');
   aList.Add('Organization: None');
   aList.Add('X-Newsreader: DIY component ');
   { End of header is a blank line }
   aList.Add('');

   { Write the message body }
   aList.Add('');
   aList.Add('test 201937');
   aList.Add('.');   // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  this was missing!
   a:=aclient.SendMessage(alist.Text);
