Hi Sim,
Awesome forum BTW
Just noticed that the chat client uses a Java applet to connect to the IRC server for the web chat facility.
What I wanted to ask is if it's possible to install a php web based interface to the chat room. The connection would run like this:
user -> web browser -> php chat -> irc server and vice versa
with messages passed back and forth via http.
I know software to do this already exists. The reason I'm asking is that I and I'm sure many others are behind corporate firewalls that won't allow access to IRC ports, but do allow access to http ports... Then I could get onto the chats at work which would be a damn site more interesting than the work itself
What do you think?
The software can be found here:
http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/
Seems nice and stable and shouldn't chew that much bandwidth.
Cheers,
Arkay.
