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::connector

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

NAME

       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector - A PoCo-IRC plugin that deals with the messy business of staying connected to an IRC server

SYNOPSIS

	use POE qw(Component::IRC Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector);

	my $irc = POE::Component::IRC->spawn();

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

	$poe_kernel->run();

	sub _start {
	    my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL ,HEAP];
	    $irc->yield( register => 'all' );

	    $heap->{connector} = POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector->new();

	    $irc->plugin_add( 'Connector' => $heap->{connector} );

	    $irc->yield ( connect => { Nick => 'testbot', Server => 'someserver.com' } );

	    $kernel->delay( 'lag_o_meter' => 60 );
	    return;
	}

	sub lag_o_meter {
	    my ($kernel,$heap) = @_[KERNEL,HEAP];
	    print 'Time: ' . time() . ' Lag: ' . $heap->{connector}->lag() . "
";
	    $kernel->delay( 'lag_o_meter' => 60 );
	    return;
	}

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Connector is a POE::Component::IRC plugin that deals with making sure that your IRC bot stays connected to the
       IRC network of your choice. It implements the general algorithm as demonstrated at
       <http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/IRC_Bot_Reconnecting>.

METHODS

   "new"
       Takes two optional arguments:

       'delay', the frequency, in seconds, at which the plugin will ping the IRC server. Defaults to 300.

       'reconnect', the time in seconds, to wait before trying to reconnect to the server. Defaults to 60.

       'servers', an array reference of IRC servers to consider. Each element should be an array reference containing a server host and
       (optionally) a port number.  The plugin will cycle through this list of servers whenever it reconnects.

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

   "lag"
       Returns the current 'lag' in seconds between sending PINGs to the IRC server and getting PONG responses. Probably not likely to be wholely
       accurate.
