SASL+SSL support?

[filler]

Hello --

First off thanks for this awesome code. Its helpful and Im glad to see it curated. :+1: :smile:

I was wondering if SASL support works as intended. As best as I can tell, Im striking out using SASL combined with SSL. The README links to http://node-irc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/API.html#irc.Client, but using what I think are relevant ircOptions dont seem to work.

    }
  }

Curious. Thanks so much!

Can you connect to your IRC server with SASL + SSL using an IRC client? Thank you for the kind feedback nonetheless.

I sure can. In weechat v1.2:

/server add corp irc.company.corp/6697 -ssl -nossl_verify -ssl_dhkey_size=1024 \
-sasl_mechanism=plain -sasl_username=botnick -sasl_password=pass

Sorry for the extremely late answer, but if you're still interested in getting it to work I'd suggest making an issue over at node-irc, as slack-irc just forwards the settings directly.

Hello! Sorry to bump an old thread, but the following code in an amazing colleague'S topic branch: git://github.com/martinb3/node-irc.git#0.3.x

Pointing there in config.json let me do the corporate needful!

Happy Slacking!
