Hi,

As I may have mentioned before, I'm working on a Visual Basic bot for my IRC server, and I'm looking at the debug window in mIRC to help with some things. I just have some questions on how things are sent. Some of the lines in the debug window look like this:
-> braab.myftp.org PRIVMSG nickserv :identify MyPassword
-> braab.myftp.org PONG :braab.myftp.org
My question is: Am I actually sending that "braab.myftp.org" that appears at the beginning of each line, or is that just showing who the target is, and the actual thing I'm sending is "PRIVMSG nickserv :identify MyPassword"? Thanks.

That first item is showing the target of your message..technically you are sending it, otherwise your message would be going nowhere (sort of like talking to a politician)

LOL. Thanks. I don't need to include it though, when I tell my program what to write to the connection? I'm kind of stalled right now because I'm just learning VB, and my connection is pinging out, but I am getting "NOTICE Auth:*** Found your hostname", so the small amount of data that I am writing is apparently being written correctly. I guess me pinging out (because I can't figure out how to correctly reply to the ping in VB) is like the politician having a short attention span! wink

By the way, if anyone here knows Visual Basic and is willing to help, you can stop by my server. I'll make sure you get credit for helping.

You should be learning more RFC1459, the IRC Protocol.

I'm guessing it's because of the PONG thing you have to send when connecting. I used to know what exactly the command line was that had to be send, because I've been on irc with telnet.. I can't remember it now, maybe someone else can remember it?
