Overchan is a newsgroup meant to be served on web frontends in an effort to create a decentralized imageboard. Moderation takes place on each frontend itself. Message and image transport is using MIME multipart messages and Base64 as encoding for Images. All messages need to be valid NNTP messages, the transport of messages need to follow NNTP specifications.

nginx will serve a static html from dir.
#### POST request
#####POST request
nginx will reverse to the happstack web application which generates and sends a NNTP message to a local INN daemon. INNd will place the new article in dir and feed it to its configured peers. Pictures are encoded in base64 or base91a. Root posting will not work without attaching an image.
#### Generation of Html
#####Generation of Html
The daemon will poll for new articles in dir. If new files are found, it generates 10 main pages ranging from 0.html to 9.html and a html each for any altered threads. For each new article the corresponding thread, starting with the original post, will be bumped to the first page (0.html). For new posts, corresponding pictures are created and 'thumbnailed' through mogrify.

nginx will serve a static html or image from dir.
#### POST request
#####POST request
nginx will proxy to postman which generates and delivers a NNTP message to SRNd which then will notify overchan plugin about the new message and also deliver it to its configured NNTP peers (which can run SRNd or another NNTPd software like INN). Pictures are encoded in base64.
#### Generation of Html
#####Generation of HTML
Plugin overchan is notified by SRNd about new articles and (re)generates `thread-$id.html` and its parent board with up to 10 root posts for each site. For each new article without `X-sage` header the corresponding thread will be bumped to the first page. For new posts, corresponding pictures are created and thumbnailed.
### NNTP News reader applications
####NNTP News reader applications
Through the use of the standard MIME format, news reader applications like Mozilla Thunderbird can also read and post directly to the chan newsserver. Each chan will appear as a root post, while additional posts will appear as replies directly to the root post.
Through the use of the standard MIME format, news reader applications like Mozilla Thunderbird or Pan can also read and post directly to the chan newsserver. Each chan will appear as a root post, while additional posts will appear as replies directly to the root post.
News readers have some features the chan software may not have: multiple attachments, non-image attachments, subject, posts referencing non-root posts, HTML text.
Open question: how should this be handled by the chan software for viewing?

####Convention
We send control suggestions to newsgroup ``ctl``. Full deletion of a root post results in removal of corresponding thread.
### Signatures
####Signatures

Input for block based hashing algorithms like SHA-512 can be streamed, only keeping a fixed blocked size in memory instead of all blocks. In case of SHA-512 these message blocks are 1024 bit and the hash to sign 512 bit. Optimized ``S(H(M))`` implementations require a constant amount memory as opposed to a linear requirement in ``S(M)``.

## RPC
###RPC
Remote procedure calls can be sent via ``ctl`` or on a group basis by using the group ``ctl.overchan.*``, where * is the group for which you want to execute a certain operation.
### Default format
####Default format
The default format uses the MIME type ``text/plain`` where the first line of the body opens an array with ``[`` the next line is the name of the procedure you want to call, and on the lines following you can add one or more parameters. Each of these lines is terminated with `,` and indention can be added as well. The arry is closed with `]`.
