#4 Excess flood

[Morgan Christiansson]

Here's the short description:

<-- drftpd has quit (Excess Flood)

Obviously, no or insufficient throttling is used when
sending larger amounts of text to IRC.

A proposed solution is to implement a sending hook, that is, a way to
redirect all commands send through IRCConnection to some other class,
before ultimatly sent to the server. That has multiple benefits;

• It would be trivial to implement a throttling mechanism.
• It would improve the ability to do unit testing.

In CVS there is now a mechanism for intercepting all commands sent to
the server, before they are sent. See
IRCConnection.get/setCommandSender.

Next up is to actually implement a throttle.
