Content
RFC 3977 specifies: Command lines MUST NOT exceed 512 octets, which includes the terminating CRLF pair. However NNTP also have multi-line data blocks. The RFC says nothing about the maximum length of a data line. We may need two limits here, one for command lines (2048 perhaps) and one much larger for data lines (a couple of MB?). Can somebody check other implementations?
