159419 - chatzilla won't connect to same server on different ports

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 156928

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Jacob Kjome]

Using Chatzilla client from Mozilla build 2002072504 on Win2k (sp2sr1)

I use Port forwarding through SSH...for various reasons... to connect to the IRC
from Chatzilla.  The thing is, different ports represent different servers even
though the server that Chatzilla thinks it is connecting to is "localhost".  

For instance, to connect to "irc.mozilla.org:6667", I enter: 
"/server localhost:5001"

To connect to my preferred efnet server "irc.easynews.com:6667", I enter:
"/server localhost:5002"

My port forwarder at home turns requests for these ports into requests for the
actual server locations.

The problem is that once I am connected to "localhost" at any port, I cannot
connect to locahost as another "/server" entry.  Chatzilla reports:
[ERROR]Already connected to localhost

I can slightly work around this by doing "/server 127.0.0.1:5002".  Notice that
it is going to the same server.  The name is just different.

So, I think Chatzilla should take into consideration the whole address including
the port number instead of treating the same server address with different ports
as the same thing.

Any fix for this bug would allow me to connect to all the following servers in
the same Chatzilla session:

/server localhost:5001
/server localhost:5002
/server localhost:5003

The only time I'd get an error is if, for instance, after connecting to the
above servers I typed "/server localhost:5001".

Sorry, the other bug hadn't been confirmed, which would have made it more
difficult to find.
