Okay, here's the output from the echo statement:
XP 7.22 912dfaee60f144853a33231688312686 ok 5 7 0 0
I don't have mIRC's MD5 handy, so I can't speak to that
issue, but everything else looks okay to me.
Now for the weird part. Twice, when I ran your //echo
statement, my firewall again alerted me to connections
to port 80 at Verisign. After the second round, there
were no further alerts or firewall log entries. You can
call that coincidence or call it what you will, but that's
what actually happened.
I do have the SSL .dlls in my mIRC directory, but I was
not on an SSL connection at the time this occured. As a
matter of fact, I can't remember the last time I used an
SSL enabled connection on IRC.
What baffles me is why this has never occured prior to
today. Nothing has changed in my mIRC setup.. no scripts
updated, nothing downloaded, no add-ons installed..
essentially zero recent changes.
I might try to remove the SSL libraries and see if it still
occurs. I will report back if I make any new discoveries.

Thomas
