Hi, Would it be possible to get SSL / SecureIRC support sometime in the future?
Thx, GeekBrat

Sorry, I just noticed this is on your NOT-to-do list, so I guess I'll keep looking. Since the wmiRC people aren't responding to my support requests. :(

Thx for the app tho, it's nice to see people actively upkeeping pet projects.

I would love to implement SSL as soon as someone gives me an SSL library that compiles with eVC4 with as little effort as possible.

Ok, here's a funny question for you all.

There are many types of SSL connections - which one is the most often used?

Take a look into gnutls also. Nice lib and easy to use, reasonable code. Better than openssl IMO. Hit me up on MSN sometime and I'll point you to some use of it in code :-)

(robby, in case you forgot me)

my question was more about supporting either implicit or explicit ssl - ssl itself is supported by winsock too afaik.

I would recommend explicit if it's going to be an option to toggle. Implicit assumes SSL is already on, explicit requests to turn on SSL.

Oh, also, I believe with explicit SSL the port to be used is determined at time of establishing the connection. Perhaps that would be good for servers that use unconventional ports for their encrypted communication. Establishing the connection with explicit takes slightly longer than implicit, but with IRC you only have to do it once, so big whoop.

Btw, any chance to get your app working on smartphone? :) No love on the Blackjack over here.

Implicit would work best for my needs, as I connect to several different IRC networks/servers that use SSL on different ports, most of which are not standard. Also sometimes I need to use weird ports to get around firewall when using WiFi.

I would love to see ssl added. Add an option for implict or explicit, that will keep everyone happy. keep up the good work :)

I would also make use of this feature. I'm happy to have found a good wm IRC client, but I also need to connect to an explicit ssl irc port.

Thanks!
