119847 - irc:// links with ,isnick sometime fail to connect if server specified without ,isserver modifier

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Stefan Huszics]

When using irc:// links, Chatzilla under certain circumstances stall/fail to
connect.

If you are NOT connected to the specific server in question BEFORE clicking the
irc:// link then...

*The following syntax works as it should 
irc://quakenet/[e-mail],isnick?msg=AUTH%20password%20removed

*But this equivalent does not
irc://se.quakenet.org/[e-mail],isnick?msg=AUTH%20password%20removed

If you are connected to the exact server (se.quakenet.org), both variants work. 
(JFYI already connected to the same network in general does not).

If you add the ,isserver modifier the link will work correctly, but IMO it
should be obvious that the link (eg se.quakenet.org) is a server and not a
network since it contains ".".

A bit torn if this should be a trivial bug or an enhancment request, so I'm
going to flip a coin =D.

Keep up the greate work. =)

Stefan, are you still seeing this problem in a current build (1.0 or 1.1alpha or
newer)?

Comment 2

[Stefan Huszics]

Running 1.1 Alpha and yes it still behaves the same, ie

<a
href="irc://se.quakenet.org/[e-mail],isnick?msg=AUTH%20password%20removed">Fails</a>

<a
href="irc://quakenet/[e-mail],isnick?msg=AUTH%20password%20removed">works</a>

The chatzilla 0.9.x branch has landed on the trunk and should be available in
tomorrow's nightly build.  If you believe this bug has not actually been fixed,
please repoen it.
