Automatically initiate otr session if peer uses otr #45

Open dtto opened 10 years ago

dtto commented 10 years ago

Current usage: Requires user to explicitly type /otr init in a /msg window to start otr.

Better: otr looks to see if uid uses otr, and if so, automatically initiates.

Possible options: Only initiate for trusted FP.

What would be a good way to do this without interference, CTCP perhaps? Another related issue is re-initializing the session after one of the users has disconnected. Currently irssi-otr doesn't handle this automatically and requires /otr finish /otr init to fix the connection.

What I was thinking about is to support something like "/otr init ". Which opens up a msg window with the user and automatically initiate otr. Thoughts?

On the re-init issue, if the other side sends a finish message, you should not try to re-init the OTR. It should be possible to make /otr init a bit more intelligent and automatically finish the current session if it's in the finish state.

That sounds good, but why make otr dependent on the user remembering the right command? I will freely admit that I am not a coder, and I understand it may be more difficult to make it automatically initiate otr when a user uses /msg instead of /otr init. But the best tool is one that will protect the user from their own ignorance of the correct commands. :)

Thanks for this plugin, it is awesome!

True, that could be doable. This plugin used to have a way to control OTR policies that tells if OTR should be tried every time or just for those supporting it, I can give it a shot and have it at least opportunistic. :)

Any update on this? This would be such a great feature...
