On 21 Dec 99,, Thomas Charron sounded off on Re: [JDEV] IRC?:

   IMHO, the most logical order is as follows:

irc:<server>[:<port>]@<transport>[/<target>]

   I favour this ordering because, well, server at transport simply 
makes more sense to me than any of the other methods. I mean, you're 
not connecting to a channel thru the transport -- you're connecting 
to a server. Any other way just wouldn't make sense, IMHO. The target 
could be either a nick or a channel name, of course. So I guess to 
message Thomas Charron when he's on IRC, I'd send to:

irc:irc.openprojects.net at irc.jabber.org/TCharron

   To send a message to the #Jabber channel:

irc:irc.openprojects.net at irc.jabber.org/#Jabber

   I have a couple questions about how you're implementing the IRC 
transport, tho. First, where are we getting the login info (nick, 
userid, realname, and rarely password) from? Also, what IRC protocol 
are you supporting at this point? Just RFC1459? There are some really 
nice Dalnet extensions I can send you the info on, but since I'm not 
familiar with C I can't write the code to handle them myself... Also, 
how are you going to handle DCC?
