With the current CGI/one nph-irc.cgi process per user model it is pretty
much impossible, i'm working on quite a radical rewrite at the moment
which will make this sort of thing possible. I'd be interested to hear
what clients are having problems though..

I wouldn't call it great - but it will fix the problem ;)

I don't really like the idea of a reload button, it's quite easily detectable
in JavaScript if the stream isn't working.

There are several proxies that don't like streams (novell border manager is
apparently one), and also Apple apparently to break stream support
in Safari (it works in Konqueror)..
