ngircd: Add optional SSL / TLS support
Unfortunately, irssi doesn't have a command-line flag to select
encrypted connections [1]. I'd like something like:
$ irssi -c irc.example.net -p 6697 --ssl
Until something like that is added, you'll need to add the server to
your irssi config:
$ cat ~/.irssi/config
...
servers = (
{
address = "irc.example.net";
chatnet = "example";
port = "6697";
use_ssl = "yes";
ssl_verify = "yes";
autoconnect = "yes";
},
...
);
chatnets = {
example = {
type = "IRC";
nick = "your-nick";
};
...
};
...
Or connect manually after firing up irssi:
$ irssi --noconnect
[(status)] /connect -ssl -ssl_verify nott 6697
Run `/help connect` for more information.
