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[edit]
/sockopen [-de[swap]tn46] [bindip] <name> <address> <port>
Switches[edit]
- -d - the specified IP address is the bind IP address
- -e - creates an SSL connection, with this switch you can also use:
- -s - skip invalid certificates
- -w - display warning dialog
- -a - accept invalid certificates
- -p - prevent certificate caching
- -t - initiates an SSL negotiation on a non-SSL connection (STARTTLS feature), this is not meant to be used when creating the socket but later after the connection has been established, trigger on sockopen a second time with $sock().starttls set to $true
- -4 - specify the IPv4 context when resolving address (enforce ipv4 when it is disabled entirely because your status window is in 'ipv6 mode'
- -6 - specify the IPv6 context when resolving address (enforce ipv6)
- -n - disable Nagle algorithm on socket
Parameters[edit]
- [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[edit]
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:{ window -de @IRC var %x sockread %x aline -p @IRC $iif(%x,$v1,-) }
