    RFC 977 has been obsoleted by RFC 3977

    Numerous new commands, standardized extensions, clarifications.

    Attached is a difference which implements CAPABILITIES and MODE READER
    and leaves some TODO comments for other RFC 3977 commands.

    •    Whether posting is allowed depends on whether it

    •    is included in results of CAPABILITIES; see

    •    RFC 3977 section 5.1.2.

    •    Deprecated:
   If the response code is 200, posting is allowed;
   if it 201, posting is not allowed."""

    200 and 201 do not have a deprecated meaning in RFC 3977.

    200 = posting may be available during the session (possibly after commands like STARTTLS or AUTHINFO have been successfully sent)
201 = posting will never be allowed in the session, whatever the user does.

    I agree that the only way to know whether posting is allowed at a given time during the session is to send CAPABILITIES and to look for POST.

    General RFC 3977 support was added as part of bpo-9360 (revision 0077ee30134c), so I am closing this one.

    For the record there are a couple bits of the patch that someone might still find useful:

    • New NNTP(bind=...) parameter
    • More lenient checking for successful authentication status
