SYMPTOMSWhen you try to use Internet News to download messages in a newsgroup, you may receive the following error message:
The headers could not be downloaded. The server you are connected to does not support a command (XOVER) which is required by Internet News. CAUSEThe server you are connecting to does not support the XOVER command.
MORE INFORMATIONXOVER is an extension to the Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) that provides an efficient mechanism for retrieving a batch of article headers. Although it is an extension, XOVER has become a standard for header download and is supported by the majority of current news server software. The current version of Internet News requires the XOVER command to work properly. XHDR is an older, common, but less efficient extension to the NNTP protocol that provides a mechanism for retrieving a single header property for a batch of articles (for example, the Subject field for each article in a newsgroup). Downloading headers using the XHDR extension requires a separate command to be issued to the server for each header. The current version of Internet News does not support XHDR.
