Description

Hi,

I'm setting up my presence on libera.chat, but I can't connect with bip. I use the very same settings as for the other networks, but the connection fails and I keep seeing the following message in bip.log:

28-05-2021 10:13:54 ERROR: [*connecting*] Error in protocol, closing...

Using the same settings, I can connect directly using Hexchat just fine.

I'm using 0.9.0~rc3-1 from debian stable

my configuration:

network {
    name = "libera";
    ssl = true;
    server { host = "irc.libera.chat"; port = 6697; };
};

then

user {
    name = "terceiro";
    # ...
    connection {
        name = "libera";    # used by bip only
        network = "libera"; # which ircnet to connect to

        follow_nick = true;
        ignore_first_nick = true;
        no_client_away_msg = "currently disconnected";
        on_connect_send = "PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY <%= $irc_passwd["libera"] %>";
    };
    # ...
}

sorry for the noise, the problem was a client configuration error (I had nick and real name swapped). please close this issue as I can't do it on my own.

The realname and the nickname were swapped in the IRC client configuration: the log mentions:

28-05-2021 11:30:40 DEBUG: "USER Antonio Terceiro 0 * :terceiro__"

while the IRC RFC mentions:
USER guest 0 * :Ronnie Reagan # (<user> <mode> <unused> <realname>)
