IMO it would make more sense to fix the client than to "break" the server ;-)
Yeah, but it's not "the" client. The problem are nearly all (different) clients of my users (including mine). Maybe I could change the daemon to just ignore messages that are too long. Am I right that the trouble is caused by the Conn_Close( Idx, NULL, "Request too long", TRUE ); in conn.c line 1255? Instead of closing the connection one could copy only the first 511 bytes.
You are right.
But personally I don't think that it is the right way to "only copy (and use) the firts 511 characters" and silently ignore the rest ... but YMMV.
BTW: The link http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.8.3.tar.gz under http://arthur.ath.cx/~alex/ngircd/#source is dead.
Right, thanks, I know. I still have to upload 0.8.3 to this location but a urgend call of one of our customers came in ...
