Better NickServ identify command ? #460

Closed coldtobi closed 1 year ago

coldtobi commented 1 year ago

Unfortunatly every network is doing the NickServ Identify command a bit differently, but it seeems that "NickServ IDENTIFY password" is universally accepted.

OFTC e.g it is NickServ IDENTIFY password [nick] [1] libera.chat it is NickServ IDENTIFY [nick] password. [2] same for dal.net [3]

(I guess those three are the most important networks with NickServ)

I've tested the patch on otfc, I can still connect and authenticate to that network.

[1] on OFTC:

17:24 <tobi> help identify
17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- *** IDENTIFY Help *** 17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- Usage: IDENTIFY password [nick] 17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)-
17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- Identify that you are the owner of the nick you are currently using. 17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- If you specify a nickname to identify against, your IRC nick will 17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- automatically be changed to the one you identify for. 17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)-
17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- See also: REGISTER 17:24 -NickServ(services@services.oftc.net)- *** End of IDENTIFY Help ***

[2] on libera.chat, the help says:

17:23 <tobi> help identify

[3] Dalnet help identify:

17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- ***** NickServ Help ***** 17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- Command - IDENTIFY
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- Usage   - IDENTIFY <password>
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)-           IDENTIFY <nick> <password>
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)-
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- This tells NickServ that you are the owner of a certain nickname.
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- After you have identified, you have full access to the nickname.
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)-
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- If a nick parameter isn't given, your current nick will be used.
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)-
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- Example:
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- /msg NickServ@services.dal.net IDENTIFY HiNellieBell
17:55 -NickServ(service@dal.net)- /msg NickServ@services.dal.net IDENTIFY Kobi_S HiNellieBell

Note: "name" as third parameter is actually an extension, not all irc servers accept that. oftc and libera.chat do, although…
