/sockopen Command - mIRC

mIRC

The /sockopen command initiates a connection to the specified addresses and port; a named address can be substituted for an IP address (which will get resolved to an IP address eventually). On success, the on sockopen event should get executed.

Synopsis

/sockopen [-de46] [bindip] <name> <address> <port>

Switches

-d - the specified IP address is the bind IP address
-e - creates an SSL connection
-t - initiates an SSL negotiation on a non-SSL connection
-4 - specify the IPv4 context when resolving address
-6 - specify the IPv6 context when resolving address

Parameters

[bindip] - bind ip to be used
<name> - socket name (for future reference)
<address> - ip address or server name of the end point
<port> - port of the end point

Example

Alias irc_connect {
  ;Initiate a connection with "irc.freenode.org" on port 6669, Secured connection
  sockopen -e IRC irc.freenode.org +6697
}
 
On *:sockopen:IRC:{
  ;Send our USER and NICK irc commands
  sockwrite -n IRC USER Tester $+ $rand(1,100) Test Test:mSL Testing $+ $crlf
  sockwrite -n IRC NICK Tester $+ $rand(1,100) $crlf
}
 
;Show all receiving data in a window
On *:sockread:IRC:{
