[JDEV] IRC Transport Development, with Gabber/other clients

hi,

hmm, yeah. now, I've the same problem with gabber. Gabber registers
the view with the jid #pinoyexchange at irc.localhost so it does not
recognize packets sent to or from
#pinoyexchange%mclean.va.us.undernet.org at irc.localhost ...
One way to resolve that is to update irc-transport to always send the
complete jid of the room ... 
I'm currently writing my own jabber client so I've not checked if it
always worked with gabber :) ...

yep, same problem than above.

yes, of course. send your requests to #channel%irc_server at irc.yourhost

To my knowledge, the most recent spec is at jabber.org?oid=1630

Benoit.
