Also, it's important to look into whether the libraries out there can handle with redirects (both on existing connections and for new connections). The two libraries most used in this context are: - SmartIrc4net (used by [[m:CVN]]'s CVNBot) https://github.com/meebey/SmartIrc4net - python-irclib/ircbot/SingleServerIRCBot (used by pywikibot) https://bitbucket.org/jaraco/irc https://github.com/jaraco/irc Neither appears to have handling for mode 'f' on channels, or have any mention of the word "redirect" or "forward" anywhere in their codebase. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
