Comment 4

[timeless]

can someone explain why this should work?

i can imagine wanting to attach a dns entry to a server alias /attach
irc.foo.bar barnet; /attach barnet
[or maybe /attach barnet irc.foo.bar]

I don't see why /attach which is about networks should randomly accept DNS
entries. That the function of /server (which is basically an irc app standard).

/attach does not create associations between servers and networks, and I have no
plans to make it do so.  The idea behind this bug is that you will be able to
use /attach as a one stop connect-to-anything command, because it will be
implemented in terms of irc urls.

after this gets fixed, the following /attach commands will have meaning...
/attach moznet
 -- works as in chatzilla 0.8.4

/attach moznet/#chatzilla
 -- connects to moznet, joins #chatzilla.

/attach irc.mozilla.org/rginda,isnick
 -- connects to mozilla.org, opens a query window to rginda.

/attach irc://irc.dal.net/javascript
 -- connects to dalnet, joins javascript.
