Password is not respected

[seandenigris]

There is no setter for a connection's user, and no accessors at all for the user's password. Consequently, the following does not authenticate the user:

conn := IRCConnection new
	user: (IRCUser new
		username: 'Sean DeNigris';
		fullName: 'Sean DeNigris';
		nickname: 'SeanDeNigris';
		password: aString;
		yourself);
	yourself.
	(IRCBasicDisplay connection: conn) openWithSpec.
	conn connect.

Also, I see there is a password instVar for the connection itself. Is that part of the model?

While we're on the subject of passwords, it would be more comfortable to connect via SSL, but changing the port to 6697 or 7000 per the Freenode docs seems to prevent connection.

The active User implementation is incomplete. Initially, I had credentials and user info directly on the connection object and I never got around to finishing it.

I will also have to read up on SSL, as I've never implemented anything like that before. Thanks

[seandenigris]

Cool, thanks. It looks like a nice little tool. Out of curiosity, why did you fork instead of potentially widening sqIRC to work on both platforms?

[darth-cheney]

I am fairly new to Smalltalk, so this was my first "whole project" (as if I even finished!) and I wanted to see if I could do the whole shebang myself. It was only part way into it that I came across squIRC.

I suppose it's still a possibility now, but I can never really get the hang of Squeak because there's too much going on in there

[seandenigris]

Ah, okay, not a complaint at all - Multiplatform can get exponentially more complex. Just wondering!

Hi @seandenigris -- please check out PR #8. I think I've been able to address both the password and SSL issues. Instructions are in the PR readme. Let me know if it works!
