147789 - remove obsolete pref network.hosts.nntp_server

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Ariel Shkedi]

In defaults/pref/all.js there is a note that the default of 'news.mozilla.org'
needs to be changed to 'news' once the beta ends. So this is a reminder to do that.

The note is by, or to, 'sspitzer' but I don't know his email to add him as a CC.

Ring Ring....... Seth, Ben, 

has this been done, or is it still in neeed of being done? and what exactly does
this refer to? NS7 or Moz1.0?

Moz1.0 is almost out the door, so whichever it is, this should be looked at.

confirming since this seems to be known anyway....

Nominating for mozilla 1.0.1 and for the netscape (adt) release.

If this bug is determined to be invalid, at least remove the reminder message in
the prefs file, and close this bug.

Does this need to be fixed? sspitzer? You added this, isn't it time to remove it
and change the default nntp_server back to just news?

Change default nntp_sever to just 'news' instead of news.mozilla.org.

Guessing here because the pref is never used :-)

Patch to remove old text.

This is an unused pref to IMHO the correct fix is to remote the pref completely
and also the line in nsNntpService.cpp that refers to it.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

If this pref is no longer appropriate, is there a need for a different implementation of default news server?

FWIW this was wontfixed in bug 8053 - perhaps for reasons that are no longer relevant.
