- SSL support for EPIC
- --------------------
-
- Connecting
- ----------
-
- In order to connect to an SSL-enabled server, a given server's "server-spec"
- must be defined correctly in order for /CONNECT to establish the connection.
-
- Example:
-
- <some SSL-enabled server>:<port>:<pass>:<nick>:<group>:IRC-SSL
-
- (Please note that only the first and last fields are mandatory to establish
- an SSL connection.)
-
- Alternatively, you may use the function $serverctl(SET <refnum> SSL) to change
- the connection strategy for a server that already exists in your server list.
-
-
- Scripting support
- -----------------
-
- The function, cipher(), will return cipher type used in an already established
- SSL server connection.
-
- The function, isencrypted(), is supplied to determine whether or not a given
- server connection is SSL-enabled or not.
-
- The hook, SSL_SERVER_CERT, will return server certificate information (if any)
- after a server connection is established. WARNING: This is hook is subject
- to change in the future. Please do not rely on the output you receive from
- this hook. You have been warned.
-
- A new status indicator, %|, has been added to show a server SSL/RAW connection
- status.
