Subject: | Old reports not available anymore |
It seems that many older reports are not available via the NNTP interface:
$ ctgetreports --transport=nntp Tk-804.028
...
NNTP-Server did not return an article for id[6395939] at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CPAN/Testers/ParseReport.pm line 390.
They are even not available via the HTTP transport:
$ ctgetreports --transport=http Tk-804.028
HTTP Server Error[500 Internal Server Error] for id[6395939] at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/CPAN/Testers/ParseReport.pm line 390.
It seems that the URL http://www.cpantesters.org/show is used for the
HTTP transport, but there's also another URL
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report which provides *all* reports.
So my suggestion is to switch from nntp to http transport as the
default, and to use the new URL. Maybe parsing has to be adjusted, too
(or you use the "RAW" version).
