SSH/SSL wrapper
My IRC client does not support SSL, so I was wondering if there was any other way to encrypt the information between SSL clients on an IRC network, maybe by using SSH to enter the IRC program or something (it's a command-line program) and passing all the plain-text through SSH first. I tried stunnel but for the love of my life could not get it to work. I used the default conf in /etc/stunnel/ and commented out the key line towards the beginning since it's optional as a client. Then I generated the certificate or whatever with the script that was in /etc/stunnel/ and that worked fine. Next I did:
Code:
stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf -c -d localhost:6697 -r irc.server.net:6697

It ran without any errors or warnings, and so I fired up my IRC client, then I tried to connect to the server (irc.server.net for this example), port 6697 and the connection was refused Smilie
I want to chat with everyone else with SSL! Please help me Smilie

poe::component::irc::plugin::autojoin

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin(3pm)

NAME

       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin - A PoCo-IRC plugin which keeps you on your favorite channels

SYNOPSIS

	use POE qw(Component::IRC::State Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin);

	my $nickname = 'Chatter';
	my $server = 'irc.blahblahblah.irc';

	my %channels = (
	    '#Blah'   => '',
	    '#Secret' => 'secret_password',
	    '#Foo'    => '',
	);

	POE::Session->create(
	    package_states => [
		main => [ qw(_start irc_join) ],
	    ],
	);

	$poe_kernel->run();

	sub _start {
	    my $irc = POE::Component::IRC::State->spawn(
		Nick => $nickname,
		Server => $server,
	    ) or die "Oh noooo! $!";

	    $irc->plugin_add('AutoJoin', POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin->new( Channels => \%channels ));
	    $irc->yield(register => qw(join);
	    $irc->yield(connect => { } );
	}

	sub irc_join {
	    my $chan = @_[ARG1];
	    $irc->yield(privmsg => $chan => "hi $channel!");
	}

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::AutoJoin is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. If you get disconnected, the plugin will join all the channels you
       were on the next time it gets connected to the IRC server. It can also rejoin a channel if the IRC component gets kicked from it. It keeps
       track of channel keys so it will be able to rejoin keyed channels in case of reconnects/kicks.

       If a POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickServID plugin has been added to the IRC component, then AutoJoin will wait for a reply from NickServ
       before joining channels on connect.

       This plugin requires the IRC component to be POE::Component::IRC::State or a subclass thereof.

METHODS

   "new"
       Takes the following optional arguments:

       'Channels', either an array reference of channel names, or a hash reference keyed on channel name, containing the password for each
       channel. By default it uses the channels the component is already on if you are using POE::Component::IRC::State.

       'RejoinOnKick', set this to 1 if you want the plugin to try to rejoin a channel (once) if you get kicked from it. Default is 0.

       'Rejoin_delay', the time, in seconds, to wait before rejoining a channel after being kicked (if 'RejoinOnKick' is on). Default is 5.

       'Retry_when_banned', if you can't join a channel due to a ban, set this to the number of seconds to wait between retries. Default is 0
       (disabled).

       'NickServ_delay', how long (in seconds) to wait for a reply from NickServ before joining channels. Default is 5.

       Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's "plugin_add" method.
