Forums Feature Suggestions mIRC links

ever see those links for AIM to add someone to your buddy list via a link on a webpage? Ex.:
<a href="aim:addbuddy?screenname=MyScreenName>click here to add me to your list!</a>

Why not have an <a href="mIRC:certaincommand?=$1+$2+$3">Click here to do the mIRC command!</a>

You could have mIRC default to only letting certain non-insecure commands be allowed for usage, and for all other commands, they simply won't work, but this option could be switched off to allow for a link to run any command (or alias) through mIRC or certain other commands/aliases could be added to an allowed or disallowed list.

This would be useful for having someone join a certain server or channel or to initiate a DCC chat session to a certain IP by simply clicking on a link on a website. Certain warnings could be placed to make sure newbies don't blindly give away personal info or compromise their system by setting this option to allow for all mIRC commands to work through links, then click on a deceptive mIRC link.

There is already the irc:// protocol which mIRC works with which allows servers and channels to be joined, I don't think it's wise or necessary to have a link type that can perform any mIRC command.

Warnings are pretty useless, the massive DDoS attacks on various IRC networks are a clear sign of that.

I agree with starbucks. In addition people would get into the habit of clicking the "Ok" on the warning box without paying attention, so this idea would give lamers an easy way to trick someone into doing something stupid.

You can always script some 'remote control' using sockets, it's far better than such URLs (imo).

Not very good idea. Using JavaScript you could easily fake a click once the site is loaded and have mIRC execute remove C:\winnt\winnt.ini and reboot the machine ...
