Native DCC SCHAT support - 23/02/16 10:31 AM
It would be nice to have native SCHAT support (Secure/encrypted DCC chat).
Currently I'm using a script to be able to initiate SSL connections to for example Eggdrop 1.8 IRC bots via "/sockopen -e" but there's no "/socklisten -e" so this thing currently works one-way only. Another reason the scripted solution sucks is because it has no support for highlights, unlike the true native mIRC DCC chat, and also spaces are not preserved in the text.
I know there's ways to fix the spaces problem (for example using spaces.dll), and also ways to have highlights (probably via simple if-then-else statements).
But if going that route, this then becomes unnecessarily bloated that it would just be best to have native SCHAT support in mIRC itself, the core (encryption) is already implemented so I think this should be doable with not too much effort.
There's an SSEND too, but I'll keep the request to SCHAT.
