KSirc SSL does not work
Last modified: 2006-05-29 07:16:40 UTC
When connecting to any IRC Server with SSL, you immediately get a Ping Timeout from the server. For testing you can try irc.cacert.org with Port 7000. It is easily reproduceable. KVirc and Konversation work, it´s just KSirc having that problem. KSirc sets up the SSL connection correctly, and also displays the connection settings (encryption algorithm, ...) KSirc works without problems for Non-SSL connections. I guess that the connection between KSirc and the SSL library works only from the server to the client (making the client display all the server messages and also receiving the ping, but not into the other direction, dropping the Pong reply to the server, resulting in the Timeout.
did you report this upstream ? doesn't sound suse specific, we don't have any patches for ksirc.
No, the problem seems to be SuSE specific. KSirc 1.13.12 seems to work on Debian. Perhaps it is IO::Socket::SSL related. You can also try to reproduce it on the commandline: dsirc -S source irc.cacert.org:7000
this is not SUSE specific. The dsirc behaves exactly the same on a kubuntu system.
