A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Simple Extension to the IRC Protocol for
Pre-Connection Usermode Setting
Author(s) : D. Meglio
Filename : draft-meglio-irc-preconn-umodes-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2005-8-23
RFC2812 introduced the ability to set certain usermodes before
connection has occurred via a simple extension to the USER command.
However, this implementation is believed to be excessively limiting.
The RFC2812 implementation only allows a limited number of modes (+i
and +w) to be set. Modern IRC servers provide many more modes and a
method is necessary to set these modes at the pre-connection stage.
Therefore, this specification introduces a method to allow users to
set arbitrary usermodes at the pre-connection stage while maintaining
backward compatibility with RFC2812.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
