Note that wIRC is Beta 0.0.4  It is rapidly changing and subject to failure at any time.
 
 
 
Do not bet your life on this stuff. 
 
 
 
On the other hand, it seems to work for us.

== Debugging with luna-send ==
 
You can debug wIRCd with luna-send. In one terminal subscribe to the 'client_connect' method (by using the -i param). Every message returned by this subscription will have a 'sessionToken' which you need to use/pass to subsequent commands. Also note, spaces need to be escaped.
 
 
 
 
 
==== Terminal-1 ====
 
luna-send -P -i palm://us.ryanhope.wIRCd/client_connect {\"server\":\"irc.freenode.net\",\"nick\":\"WiZ\",\"user\":\"wIRCer\",\"server_password\":\"mypassword\",\"port\":\"7070\",\"interface\":\"ppp0\"}
 
 
 
 
 
==== Terminal-2 ====
 
luna-send -P -n 1 palm://us.ryanhope.wIRCd/client_cmd_join {\"sessionToken\":\"1.22.2\",\"channel\":\"#wirc\"}
 
 
 
luna-send -P -n 1 palm://us.ryanhope.wIRCd/client_cmd_msg {\"sessionToken\":\"1.22.2\",\"nch\":\"#wirc\",\"text\":\"this\ is\ a\ test\ message\"}
 
 
 
luna-send -P -n 1 palm://us.ryanhope.wIRCd/client_cmd_me {\"sessionToken\":\"1.22.2\",\"nch\":\"#wirc\",\"text\":\"is\ testing\ wIRCd\ with\ luna-send\"}
 
 
 
 
 
== Testing ==
 
Come to #wirc on freenode for help, don't ask for help in #webos-internals
 
 
 
Please put any random observations, requests, issues etc... on the talk page: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application_talk:WIRC
 
 
 
 
 
== Development ==
 
=== Current TODO List / Feature Requests ===
 
==== [SERVICE & GUI] ====
 
* Detect when GUI has crashed/disconnected while session is active, so that session can be destroyed.  (e.g. restarting LunaSysMgr)
 
* Stagger connections to servers or increase select() timeout based on the number of servers trying to connect at once, (eg. lots of retrys from service when connecting to 8 servers at once)
 
* Get irssi-proxy/bitlbee working
 
==== [SERVICE] ====
 
* Finish code cleanup from rewrite
 
** Rethink live-or-die thread
 
*** Rethink use of mutex's... maybe a posix timer
 
*** Figure out why pthread_cancel() can cause a segfault
 
** Validate sessionToken on subscription requests
 
** Validate params for irc calls
 
* Add SSL support
 
==== [GUI] ====
 
===== 0.0.5 Todo's =====
 
* Bookmark favorite channels in list.
 
* auto-away response support (with toggle)
 
* fix /quote & /raw support
 
* fix /notice for queries
 
* add a way to clear a server/channel/query window
 
===== For Future Releases =====

* Channel logs (Probably use /media/internal/)
 
* Replace invite with whois/finger when nick in nicklist is tapped
 
* Multi-page preferences
 
* Color profiles per palm theme
 
* Better color schemes for random nick colors
 
* Figure out why sometimes the app doesnt' close after swiping all cards

* Reconnect gracefully after disconnects
 
* Make auto-identify stuff do something
