Abstract

Most NickServ/ChanServ based services share basic common features and syntax. But IRC clients/scripts/bots are unable to easily interact with them due to varying translations, versions, etc. The goal of this draft-RFC – is to make it possible for IRC Client’ users to understand services messages, and interact with them. Our proposal is for services to send standard numeric messages instead of notices.

Requirements Language

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

TODOs

The style of this specification still needs clean-ups. It shouldn't address users as "you." It shouldn't say "should" and "must" in non-final lower case. And there are details left to work out. Let us not add anything else to this specification or we just won't finish it! Rather reduce it further than add more, and put future extensions into future IRC+ drafts.

1.  Introduction



 TOC 

1.1.  Background

One day in 1991, Jupiter killed NickServ. That day marked the beginning of a dark period in the evolution of IRC: Nicknames weren't owned. Virtual identities were not reliable. Sixteen years later, most large IRC networks have overcome this wrong attitude.

Since the IRC protocol does not protect identities natively, external programs called services have been employed. These services were inspired by the original NickServ, but have evolved into many different and incompatible flavors. This specification proposes a common protocol for services to ensure interoperability.

Additionally to the messaging interface the end users are familiar with, although they are different on each network, this protocol adds a more generalized, abstract and client developer friendly interface to the typical function needed for managing and securing your digital identity on IRC.



 TOC 

1.2.  Overview

Numerics SHOULD fit RFC 1459 requirements. Services SHOULD send numeric replies, where all meaningful parts SHOULD be message parameters, and not the text part. For example:

:prefix 8xx ChanServ #channel FOUNDER NICK :is channel founder

But not

:prefix 8xx ChanServ NICK :is #channel founder

ABNF for service message or reply

Many of these commands may not actually have an appropriate BNF/ABNF syntax.

ServicesMessage = prefix numeric service parameterList [":" trailing]
service = "ChanServ" / "NickServ" / "MemoServ" / "BotServ" / "OperServ"
parameterList  = singleParameter [parameterList]

The prefix is a standard IRC prefix, containing ":" and server name.

Numerics should be in an otherwise unused range (as of this draft, 800-899). This range may be reassigned or reorganized later, and this list is not to be considered authoritative.

Some services provide functionality which isn't covered by this specification. Please keep on sending NOTICEs in that case, do not come up with your own numerics, help IRC+ provide further specifications to fill in the gaps.



 TOC 

1.3.  Services nicks

There are 5 standard service agents – NickServ, ChanServ, MemoServ, BotServ, OperServ. These may be aliased via a token in RPL_SERVICES_SUPPORTS_IRCPLUS

Query = service [parameterList] [":" trailing]
service = "ChanServ" / "NickServ" / "MemoServ" / "BotServ" / "OperServ"
parameterList  = singleParameter [parameterList]

Services may be extended, and new ones added with new functionality. No one service is required. Any service may be disabled.

Services nicks are case-insensitive.



 TOC 

2.  Detecting IRC+ network and switching to IRC+ mode

An IRC+ compliant IRCd SHOULD include the IRCPLUS parameter in its server RPL_ISUPPORT message.

IRC+ compliant services MUST send an 800 code to the user with a list of the supported IRC+ features.

If the IRC client supports IRC+ mode, it MAY send a command to NickServ and the IRC server with enabling IRC+ mode request (IRCPLUS - enabling/disabling IRC+ mode). IRC+ mode MUST be set only on a per-session basis. If services and the server are not given this request, they MUST NOT use IRC+ mode.
