210286 - hostname and servername fields in USER message shouldn't be "foo" and "bar"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Onno Molenkamp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

The second and third parameter of the USER message should contain the local
hostname, and the servername. Their current values are "foo" and "bar".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
The actual value of hostname parameter isn't that important, and could be just
"localhost" or something, if determining ones hostname is too much work.
The servername really should be the name of the server chatzilla is connecting
to though, and since it's already given by the user (/server blah), it's easy to
send the right value.

Is there any reason to bother, though? Do these parameters actually affect anything?

Comment 2

[James Ross]

For what it's worth, ChatZilla 0.9.45 passes "*" for both of these parameters.
IS this acceptable? (if not, why not?)

Comment 3

[James Ross]

Chatzilla now sends "*" for both parameters, rather than "foo" and "bar".
Resolving FIXED.
