Greetings,

Q:
The Drupal 7 version does not seem to allow connection to a secure socket via the ssl:// prefix at admin/config/bot/core in the IRC server textfield. Was there a patch for the D7 version for that or does that patch need upgrade to the new version?

Thanks!

It should - that is, I've run Drupal 7 and Bot whilst connecting to a private ssl://-only server. Are you sure that your PHP was actually compiled with SSL support? http://php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php There has been no deliberate support, or unsupport, for SSL within the bot. It's just "worked" when I tried it.

Thanks @Morbus Iff

Wondering if you used an IRC address like:
ssl://example.com
or just example.com

with the ssl://example.com

Thanks for the help on diagnosis.

Yeah, I had to use a ssl:// to ensure it used SSL - my IRC server wasn't listening to anything BUT SSL connections.

You might try to disable "Use real sockets for IRC server connection" on admin/config/bot/core too.

And check if SSL is enabled in admin/reports/status/php - you should see "ssl" listed as a "Registered Stream Socket Transports"

Thanks @
unchecked: "Used real sockets for IRC server connection" and opened port and it worked.

Thanks for your help.
