having to use a special SSL-only port, they can simply switch to SSL on
any port. This is currently only supported by few clients (such as KVIrc 4).
This functionality can be disabled by setting set::ssl::options::no-starttls,
for example if you don't want to offer SSL to your users and only want it
to be used for server to server links.
Naturally, the IRCd must be compiled with SSL support for STARTTLS to work.
- Fixed SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ in IRCd_ssl_write()
such as ~q:~c:#test to only silence users on #test, for example. This feature
is enabled by default, but can be disabled during ./Config -advanced. Module
support for this feature must note the following:
- For is_ok function, the extban can either assign extban_is_ok_nuh_extban, which
will deal checking a chained extban (including checking for restricted extbans),
or it can call that function from its own is_ok routine. For the latter case,
remember to pass only the mask part of your ban format (ie, don't just pass para as
otherwise it'll just call your is_ok again).
- For conv_param function, the extban can either assign extban_conv_param_nuh_or_extban,
which will automatically call conv_param for a chained extban, or pretty up a n!u@h mask.
- For is_banned, the extban should call ban_check_mask with the mask part of the parameter.
This will automatically call is_banned for a stacked extban, or match against a n!u@h. n!u@h
is checked against the current user (ie, with the info in the globals ban_ip, etc), so things
can get weird if you call this outside a normal ban check.
Modules must keep in mind that chained extban support is not available (and neither are the three
functions above) if DISABLE_STACKED_EXTBANS is #defined (this is controled by Config). Modules will
not compile/load if they try to use them anyway.
This change should not break extban modules, and should need some more extensive testing.
- Misc fix for disabling extban chains, should've done stuff in our autoconf
stuff instead of hacking configure directly :P .
load (for example when the webserver is down), then the most recent
version of that remote include will be used, and the ircd will still boot
and be able to rehash. Even though this is quite a simple feature, it
can make a key difference when deciding to roll out remote includes on
your network. Previously, servers would be unable to boot or rehash when
the webserver was down, which would be a big problem (often unacceptable).
The latest version of fetched urls are cached in the cache/ directory as
cache/<md5 hash of url>.
Obviously, if there's no 'latest version' and an url fails, the ircd will
still not be able to boot. This would be the case if you added or changed
the path of a remote include and it's trying to fetch it for the first time.
To disable this new behavior, check out REMOTEINC_SPECIALCACHE in
include/config.h.
(HOOKTYPE_PACKET). Replacing the 'text to be sent' to a client is
supported, which allows character(set) conversion in a module.
Note that modifying an incoming message by the hook is not supported.
from not binding to that ip when linking, to not being able to link at
all. Also fixed a very small memory leak upon /REHASH. Bug reported by

timesynch) made autoconnect not work for the duration of the offset
(eg: -60 would make autoconnect wait 60 seconds after boot, instead of
autoconnecting almost immediately). Reported by aragon (#0003853).
