Command line URL

Hello

IRC follows a different standard and its defined as IRC URL standard

http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt

and the second parameter which is in that standard so the URL opens with your IRC client

Following that standard, the following URL should be valid?
irc://irc.mozilla.org/

I've looking for URL or parameter questions in the application help, but I haven't found how must be specified the parameters.

yes If you are connecting to a specific server.. If you are connecting to a channel in a server then channel name should be specified

irc://irc_server_name/#channel

example :

irc://irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu-helpteam

With Ubuntu GNU/LInux 8.04 (Hardy Heron) 64-bits and "xchat-gnome" package v0.18
I've tried running this line:
xchat-gnome irc://irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu-helpteam
but opens the "preferences" settings (server&channel).

OK that is a link only when you click on it it opens in xchat-gnome its just like a web link

run only this command please

irc://irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu-helpteam

Press alt+f2 and copy the above and click on run

Conects to the server, but doesn't open the channel.
And how to solve the web browser links?

OK you can download xchat

sudo apt-get install xchat

and remove xchat-gnome

sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome and try again

Regards

With this other application (package xchat) doesn't connect with the specified server nor channel.

hmm rare... Why dont you open a bug here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.

OK wait a min

Do you have a nick name setup?

Of course, the first time I open "xchat-gnome" I gave a nick name, and now "xchat" has taken the same data.

Its working fine with me.. Its good that you have reported a bug.. Please confirm it on other systems and help the bugsquad guys to triage the bug asap

Regards

any update?
