Hadrian Zbarcea commented on CAMEL-4427:
----------------------------------------
Code changes made, need to update documentation. A bit of refactoring of
camel-irc would help too.
> Fix URI definition for camel-irc to provide valid URIs
> ------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CAMEL-4427
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4427
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: camel-irc
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Hadrian Zbarcea
> Assignee: Hadrian Zbarcea
> Fix For: 2.9.0

> Hash signs '#' are not quite allowed in URIs. While they do mark a URI
> fragment, a URI cannot have more than one fragment (and hence '#' signs) and
> URI parameters must appear before the fragment.
> The [IRC spec|http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html] mandates channel
> names to start with either a '&' or a '#', both not allowed in a URI (i.e.
> need to be escaped). I am proposing the following changes that will make
> camel-irc URIs valid. Current URIs will still be supported but deprecated
> until 3.0.
> The changes/clarifications are:
> 1. Current syntax is supported, yet deprecated
> 2. Current syntax with '#' symbols properly encoded is supported (i.e. a
> channel name will be "%23camel" instead of "camel"
> 3. Make the '#' symbol optional (i.e. "channels=camel,activemq" is equivalent
> with "channels=%23camel,%23activemq"). That makes URIs simpler, if the '#' is
> missing camel-irc will prepend exacly one '#'.
> 4. For channels that start with '&' or double "##", like [freenode
> non-primary channels] encoding is mandatory.
> 5. The userInfo part always represents the username, which could be different
> than the nick. The documentation is not clear on that. By default the nick is
> the same as the username.
> 6. Username is mandatory.
> 7. Deprecate the "username" parameter, it must be supplied in the userInfo
> part of the URI.
> 8. IRC URIs are URLs not URNs; i.e. the scheme must be followed by "://", not
> just ":".
> I will update the code to preProcess() camel-irc URIs to follow the rules
> above and update the documentation.
