Hooks

[Martin48535]

What is the proper hook to get it to run on a failed connection, preferably only when type is: "Connection refused"

I'm trying to make a script that changes my proxy type to 0 if that happens. The rest is easy, I just don't know the hook.

IRC::command("/set net_proxy_type 0");

command("set net_proxy_type 0");

I managed to get that for both languages (pearl and python) so in what languages the hooks function doesn't matter. (I'd prefer python though if at all possible)

you can use hook_print on the "Connection Failed" event then check the reason, this would be $_[0][0] in Perl and word[1] in Python.

The IRC::* interface really shouldn't be used for any new code, it's only around for backwards compatibility purposes,

Thanks, I got it working.

For those who might also be able to use it:

Code: Select all

import xchat

def proxchange(word, word_eol, userdata):
   if word[0] == "Connection refused":
      xchat.command("set net_proxy_type 0")
   return xchat.EAT_NONE
xchat.hook_print("Connection Failed", proxchange)

All it does is set proxy type to 0 if your proxy refuses your connection. Nothing big but useful if you use go through a SSH tunnel that at times collapses.

Except 'set net_proxy_type 0' is global and permanent so setting it more than once is useless unless you have something setting it to some other value.

I set it back to 3 once I get my tunnel back up an running. I prefer to have it going through that tunnel but if it collapses (network isn't the greatest) then I'd rather have it connect unsecurely from my own network then to mis X hours.
