Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0
Steps to reproduce:
typed on Chatzilla e.g. type /MSG nickserv help
or /MSG someone xdcc send SEND 1
Actual results:
Got [ERROR] The command “MSG” is not known to the server.
Expected results:
Both MSG and msg are expected to work identically. Afaik most, if not all, IRC clients (e.g. mIRC) have no issue, with either syntax.
Similarly e.g. /SSLServer irc.example.com -> "The command “SSLSERVER” is not known to the server."
While not strictly a defect, I see no real reasons for this picky case-sensitiveness, especially for compatibility with other clients. I think quite a few guides etc., even help from IRC servers, assume one can type MSG in uppercase and it works.
User Agent string above is fake, spoofing as Tor Browser / Firefox ESR. It's actually SeaMonky 2.35.17
