irc_config bug #29

Open motbob opened 10 years ago

motbob commented 10 years ago

Pierc does not handle irc passwords with colons properly. This came up as an issue when trying to access irc.twitch.tv, where the password is always "oauth:a_string". I fixed this by manually removing most of the colons in the config file (like the one in "server: irc.ircserver.net") and modifying the line "temp = line.replace(":", "").split()" in config.py so that colons were no longer stripped.

I think I speak with all of the intelligence and gravitas of a real project lead when I say "I didn't even know pierc supported passwords" ;) On 5 Feb 2014 20:41, "motbob" notifications@github.com wrote:

It's as easy as adding a line to the config file: "password: [password]". As long as the password doesn't have a colon!

Did you try quoting the value? Like:

password: "oauth:[password]"

Edit: just realized this probably won't work. Sorry.
