A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Extensions to the Internet Relay Chat Protocol (IRCX)
Author(s) : K. Cedola, T. Pfenning
Filename : draft-pfenning-irc-extensions-00.txt
Pages : 27
Date : 02/03/1997
This document describes extensions to the Internet Relay chat protocol
defined in RFC 1459[1]. The added functionality includes optional user
authentication for multiple security providers, support for UNICODE[2]
characters, multilayer security, a unified property mechanism, and support
for tagged data messages. Chat server implementations can optionally
support channel or server services with full control over all messages and
events. These services communicate with the core server over an extended
IRC connection.
All changes to the IRC protocol are designed in a way that existing
clients will continue to work against servers implementing the extensions.
Support for the extended protocol can be queried by clients to take
advantage of the added functionality or to conform to the basic protocol
as defined in RFC 1459.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-pfenning-irc-extensions-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
