WEBIRC Implementation #6

Open realJoshByrnes opened 1 year ago

realJoshByrnes commented 1 year ago

This is two parts

  1. Re-add the WEBIRC command to both the IRC7 Directory server software, and the IRC7 Channel server software
  2. Add support for WEBIRC to websockify-js At present, this is to help support #1 - But may be used in other cases.

We need to discuss if we need hostname support. I can't see why we would in our use case, but it may be worthwhile considering.

I would say forward IP address, the hostname is not important. The IP address is used in the protocol and necessary for moderation by Admins etc

The WebIRC standard has changed, partially due to the work we previously did on IRC7 (particularly the +s flag, which is now the secure keyword) See https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/webirc.html

I'm recommending we have the hostname set to the IP address for maximum compatibility (we can consider adding it later). eg. WEBIRC hunter2 ExampleGateway 198.51.100.3 198.51.100.3

Nice one for getting that added to the spec!
