SSL support for EPIC -------------------- Connecting ---------- In order to connect to an SSL-enabled server, a given server's "server-spec" must be defined correctly in order for /CONNECT to establish the connection. Example: <some SSL-enabled server>:<port>:<pass>:<nick>:<group>:IRC-SSL (Please note that only the first and last fields are mandatory to establish an SSL connection.) Alternatively, you may use the function $serverctl(SET <refnum> SSL) to change the connection strategy for a server that already exists in your server list. Scripting support ----------------- The function, cipher(), will return cipher type used in an already established SSL server connection. The function, isencrypted(), is supplied to determine whether or not a given server connection is SSL-enabled or not. The hook, SSL_SERVER_CERT, will return server certificate information (if any) after a server connection is established. WARNING: This is hook is subject to change in the future. Please do not rely on the output you receive from this hook. You have been warned. A new status indicator, %|, has been added to show a server SSL/RAW connection status. Credits ------- Original SSL support for EPIC was written by Juraj Bednar. You may find the details of that project at http://epicssl.sourceforge.net for the original source material. Further modification was done by B. Thomas Frazier for inclusion into the regular distriubtion.
