  • Purple patch

    As you might notice, gaim had to change its name (thank GOODNESS (how do you pronounce gaim anyway?)) and separated into the graphical UI: pidgin, the text-based UI: finch, and the IM library both use: libpurple. I really like IRC helper, so I went and made a cheapass search and replace upgrade of it, to handle the different names. I think finch may be able to handle dialogs (someday), so even...

    Well, it's up to you. The NickServ password doesn't work, since it's AuthServ not NickServ (and "auth", not "identify"). But rather than simply using "/msg AuthServ auth accountname password", you can use the server password instead (since it bypasses their kicking people off due to DNSRBL checks and so is more reliable than messaging AuthServ (strange network)).

  • Comment: Suppress AfterNet login-on-connect

    Well, as you know, IRC Helper is all about the unique stuff. I think I'd be okay with code to deal with this... if the server was one for AfterNET and the Nickname password field was filled in and the server password was not, the plugin could construct a server password appropriately, or something.

    Per the subject line, suppress the messages. I don't think it makes sense for IRC Helper to handle this mode of authentication as it's unique and doing so would be counter to their instructions on how to set it up.

  • Comment: Rejoin channels on reconnect

    I agree, but this belongs in Gaim. There may be a feature request for it already.

    So are you requesting that I do something with the authentication, or that I suppress those messages?.

  • Rejoin channels on reconnect

    When an IM protocol connection becomes disconnected, as soon as you reconnect, all open conversation tabs are once again active. If an IRC connection dies, after reconnection you have to reconnect to the channel manually. (This may be true of all chats in gaim!) For now at least, could IRC Helper automatically rejoin all open IRC channels?.

  • Suppress AfterNet login-on-connect

    AfterNET IRC has a weird mechanism for authentication, whereby you present your full credentials in the IRC password itself, as explained here: http://www.afternet.org/help/connecting/login-on-connect This results in a response such as follows on connect: some.server.AfterNET.Org: (notice) Attempting service login to AuthServ some.server.AfterNET.Org: (notice) AUTHENTICATION SUCCESSFUL...

    I've rebuilt the plugin for beta6 and uploaded a new version.
