Many IRC servers do not have a MOTD file, and when a client connects to them, they get a "422 No MOTD file" warning. It's a completely harmless warning, and I think it's a wart on the IRC protocol that it even gets reported to the clients. The Gaim IRC plugin pops up a dialog box when it receives a warning code from the server. Including this one. Which happens a lot. Would it be difficult to modify the IRC plugin to ignore harmless warnings? -- |

My CVS build is a few days old, though. I'll update it and see if it's still there. Personally, I think it's ok that we push the error through, but I think maybe we should say exactly what the error is. Currently, we do an alert with "IRC Error 422" and that's it. -- Evan Doughty ev...@ca... |

Currently, we do an alert > with "IRC Error 422" and that's it. I found the code, made the change, and submitted a patch. It's literally only two lines. The IRC handler has a generic handler, just a "default" on a "select" statement, that used to handle the 422, because there was no specific handling. I just added a specific "case" that does only a break. -- Mark Atwood | Well done is better than well said. mr...@po... | http://www.pobox.com/~mra |
