Controlling AXDCC remotely #34

Closed Chronoes closed 2 years ago

In the case of running HexChat and AXDCC plugin in a different computer, it would be difficult to issue commands to the plugin because it requires direct access to HexChat. It is cumbersome to do it via remote desktop or SSH X11 forwarding or other solutions. In addition, notifications from HexChat about download completions or errors are practically impossible to transmit to the actual user on a remote installation.

One acceptable solution for this is to use Telegram's bot service which could handle both notifications and commands with minimal effort.
