When exactly does the on CONNECTFAIL event trigger? I've been experimenting with this event, and I have yet to see it trigger...

I tried using the following:



I then try to connect to an IRC server using a proxy that I know is not working, and the event does not trigger. Next, I tried connecting to an IRC server with a proxy that works, and is on port 1080. When I connect to the IRC server, the IRC server disconnects me for using a "insecure" proxy. Fine. But the on CONNECTFAIL event still does not trigger...

I suppose it triggers when mIRC failed to connect to an irc server after all the retries.
"The on CONNECTFAIL event uses the same as above and triggers when a connection attempt (including all retries) has failed. $1- is set to the connect error message."
This is from mIRC help file, have you read this? What part didn't you understand?

Type /server irc.thisisadummyserver.co.uk what happens?

Nothing at all...

Bizzare...

CONNECTFAIL ERROR: Unable to resolve server
=> this is what I get...

/remote on

They are on, all my other events work, it's just this one that doesn't...

Did you wait for all the retries to fail?
