Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65927

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

When reading articles that haven't been read so far this session, reads create
new nntp connections instead of reusing existing connections.  Also, the
previously read articles' connections are not closed.  So, for NNTP servers
which support only a limited number N of NNTP connections, the newsreader
becomes non-functional after reading N articles: only N articles total can be
read per session.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Given: NNTP server which limits connection to a fixed (small) N.

1. Click on a newsgroup for that server in the mailnews view.
2. Fetch N different articles from the server by clicking on them (success).
3. Fetch another article (failure).

Actual Results:  , it fails with the following error in a pop up window: A News
(NNTP) error occurred: Too Many Connectoins [auth-readers allows 5 per host/0
per feed (0 == nolimit)] (Twister v1.2.0) 

Expected Results:  Show the article.

This may be a duplicate of 65927.  I could not tell by its description.
