Far from being interested about #irc protocol in general, my interest is
focused on irc.wikimedia.org read-only channels, and on parameter segment of
specific rows of specific channels (but I see that all channels follow a
similar pattern).
My idea is to use my very basic listening bot to select r

Once more, it's amazing to see how different meanings can have the word

Ok. I've my listening bot; at the beginning I've been a little confused by
irc color codes, but I realized that they can be used to parse effectively
#irc messages.
Just the time to mount my "irc color-based parser" then I'll be ready to use
data enough for now I presume.
Then I'll read agai
You are probably missing a PING-message whilest listening to IRC and
then closes the connection when it doesn't receive a PONG in like 180
seconds.

Long ago I have noticed that the irc server is kicking my bot out
after some time from some reason.
Then I looked closer and noticed there is a server's ping around that

to follow the rules and end each

According to the protocol, it should be a CRLF (\r\n). Although a bare
\n seems to be commonly accepted
It's just a plain idea how you can make an irc bot. Possible solutions
are making the buffer bigger or preserving the last message if it
doesn't end with a \n. For WikiLinkBot the first solution works just
fine (If reading the recent changes every 10 minutes just works fine,
making a bigger buffer

This seems to have a bug: if there's more than 1024 bytes waiting, you could
receive only part of the final message; so you will truncate that message, and
the next recv will re
