Package: xchat
Version: 2.8.8-3.1+b1
Hi,
xchat by default uses port 9999 when enabling the SSL option in
the network list. There is no port input field, so changing it
is totally non-self-explaining (change the server name to append
a colon and the correct port).
Please change the default to port 6697 since that’s what, according
to RichiH, all major networks save one, have agreed to use as non-
privilegued IRC-over-SSL port. They all either switched or offer it
in addition to their traditional (9999, 6697, 7000, etc.) port.
Please refer to RichiH for details. I neither use xchat (just for
developing a plugin others use) nor am the initiator of the port
unification standard.
Thanks,
//mirabilos
