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

NAME

       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickServID - A PoCo-IRC plugin which identifies with NickServ when needed

SYNOPSIS

	use POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickServID;

	$irc->plugin_add( 'NickServID', POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickServID->new(
	    Password => 'opensesame'
	));

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::NickServID is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. It identifies with NickServ on connect and when you change your
       nick, if your nickname matches the supplied password.

       Note: If you have a cloak and you don't want to be seen without it, make sure you don't join channels until after you've identified
       yourself. If you use the AutoJoin plugin, it will be taken care of for you.

METHODS

   "new"
       Arguments:

       'Password', the NickServ password.

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

OUTPUT EVENTS

   "irc_identified"
       This event will be sent when you have identified with NickServ. No arguments are passed with it.
