To further muddy the waters, a large number of server variants actually do support listing with wildcards. Thankfully, there is a recognised detection mechanism to find out *if* it is supported: RPL_ISUPPORT (005)'s ELIST token. (I'm not certain *everything* uses this, but if it doesn't, well... bad luck for them?) See: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html Basically, you want to look for 'M' in ELIST's value if I remember rightly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426795 Title: empathy can't get roomlist (from irc.freenode.net) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/telepathy-idle/+bug/426795/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
