network2 moves "deleted" packets to dead.net because identifed as UNKNOWN type.
Closed this issue · 1 comments
in net37 user doc, packets that have been handled by epreproc.net programs can be marked "deleted" by changing their main_type to 65535.
The pre-processor may then scan through local.net, and mark as deleted (main_type=65535) any message processed by that preprocessor. The preprocessor may even append additional messages to the local.net file, if that is desired.
network2 log entry:
2023-01-24 01:20:37,201 INFO Processing message with type: UNKNOWN type #65535/0
2023-01-24 01:20:37,202 ERROR ! ERROR Writing message to dead.net for unhandled type: 'UNKNOWN type #65535'; writing to dead.net
2023-01-24 01:20:37,202 INFO write_wwivnet_packet: Writing type 65535/0 message to NetPacket: /home/wwiv/wwivnet/dead.net
deleted packets should simply be skipped over so that they are deleted along with the entire local.net when it is completely processed.
oops
