Dirk Meyer f791c3f7f2 Support new Options:
SUCK_WITH_SSL=yes or WITH_SSL=yes

Update URL's.
Thanks to <thierry@thomas.as>

-- Changes from Suck-4.2.5 -> Suck-4.3.0

* As of this version, my e-mail address has changed from
from bobyetman@worldnet.att.net to bobyetman@home.com

*     changes to allow it to use SSL.

* rpost.c - added -i option, to ignore the
      readonly opening response and try
      to post anyway, since inn-2.3, when
      using authinfo, still sends 201 code
      meaning readonly.

      - do_authenticate() - added print
      statements to show start of, and
      successful completion of authentication.

* suck.c - get_one_article_kill() - add test
      for header_only mode when in stdout mode
      to not download the body.

      - get_one_article(), get_articles() - added
      -bP option, to post articles during download.

suck feeds news to local INN or CNEWS server without the remote NNTP feeding.
This is useful, if you get news from NNTP server with dialup connection.
Suck is a program used to grab news from a remote NNTP news server and
bring it to your local machine, without the remote server doing
anything special. If you have read permission on the server, you can
use suck. Suck does NOT use the NEWNEWS command, hated by many
administrators.
