although I have been working on server-to-server protocol documentation. I need to get around to seeing if I can improve that any...

Thank you though, that looks very interesting. I'm gonna look into that stuff.

Actually, you do

. All a client is is a glitzy wrapper around (generally a tcp, although this isn't specified by rfc) a network connection to send and recieve data.

A bot is a 'client' of a sort, an ircd is a client, Services is, technically, a client.. everything is the same.

I can connect a telnet session to an irc network, and identify as a user (or as a server, if I feel like showing off..) with no problems:

..you get the point..

That's connecting as a user, the other state Unreal (and most ircds NOT ircd 2.11 (was it 11, or 10 that introduced 'services'?)) has is that of a server:

I'm feeling lazy, so I probably won't get it exactly right, but it'd be something like this:

PASS :m00cowsrulemyworld
PROTOCTL NOQUIT TOKENS SJ3
SERVER services-dev.chatspike.net 0 :U-2306-* meow

etc..

To have a service set a G:Line:

Code: Select all

TKL + G user some.host.com Security expire_at set_at :reason

I think that is pretty self-explanitory. The expire_at and set_at values are UNIX Time (I call it unix time, because I can never remember its proper name), and ofcourse they are GMT. To make it permanent, specify expires_at as 0.

To have services remove a G:Line

Code: Select all

TKL - G user host Security

Again, pretty self-explanitory.

Epoch time, but I tend to use unixtime too.

Don't forget those that call it ctime (either because they get it from mirc's $ctime function or from C's time() function ;P ). I prefer unixtime though :p .

Btw aquanight, if you got some nice docs (and they are correct ;p) then I would probably add that if you submit it. We got nothing now (except some protoctl and some other docs, but none general like "how to connect as a server"), so anything is better than nothing :P. I know stskeeps wrote something once, but I only learned about that url like 1 year ago, and it's pretty outdated (it was written for unreal3.1* I think ;p).

2302 protocol or something, I remember it was pre-TKL (I can't even remember the URL :p) I started doing something similar, but got bored and didn't finish it. I've got it in my head, so I just help someone if they need it :p (except for TKL and crap like that, I need to head for the src to get that

)
