Just for your information. The reason this issue is a problem for me is that the "bip" proxyserver requires passwords in the format <user>:<passwd>:<network> to connect to it. KSIRC was confirmed to be unmaintained, and its main developer is not reachable. Closing as UNMAINTAINED. I suggest all the users to try other KDE IRC client alternatives like Konversation, Aki, or the Qt-only Quassel. Regards |
Version: 1.3.12 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux If there is a colon in a server password, ksirc will not parse that correctly and will fail to connect. The fairly trivial patch below fixes this. I can see no real reason why colons in passwords should not be allowed. AFAICT, when the connect string is parsed, just interpreting the password as "anything after the second colon" should be OK. --- kdenetwork-3.5.5/ksirc/dsirc.orig 2007-08-19 20:26:45.000000000 +0200 +++ kdenetwork-3.5.5/ksirc/dsirc 2007-08-19 20:26:55.000000000 +0200 @@ -114,8 +114,8 @@ $nick=$opt_n || $ARGV[0] || $ENV{"SIRCNICK"} || $ENV{"IRCNICK"} || $username; $set{"FINGER"}=$ENV{"IRCFINGER"} || "keep your fingers to yourself"; $set{"USERINFO"}=$ENV{"USERINFO"} || "yep, I'm a user"; -if ($server =~ /^\[([^\]]+)\]:([0-9]*):?([^:]*)$/ - or $server =~ /^([^:]+):([0-9]*):?([^:]*)$/) +if ($server =~ /^\[([^\]]+)\]:([0-9]*):?(.*)$/ + or $server =~ /^([^:]+):([0-9]*):?(.*)$/) { ($server, $port, $pass)=($1, $2, $3); }
