Hi,
I am trying to code an IRC client and followed the example found at
http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/1966
The example worked. However, when I tried connecting to several other
servers closer to home, namely "irc.pacific.net.sg", there is a long
delay and after that the connection is closed. Sometimes, I received an
error "...register first".
Anybody knows why and how to solve it?
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class HackBot {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// The server to connect to and our details.
String server = "irc.freenode.net";
String nick = "simple_bot";
String login = "simple_bot";
// The channel which the bot will join.
String channel = "#irchacks";
// Connect directly to the IRC server.
Socket socket = new Socket(server, 6667);
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream( )));
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream( )));
// Log on to the server.
writer.write("NICK " + nick + "\r\n");
writer.write("USER " + login + " 8 * : Java IRC Hacks Bot\r\n");
writer.flush( );
// Read lines from the server until it tells us we have connected.
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine( )) != null) {
if (line.indexOf("004") >= 0) {
// We are now logged in.
break;
}
else if (line.indexOf("433") >= 0) {
System.out.println("Nickname is already in use.");
return;
}
}
// Join the channel.
writer.write("JOIN " + channel + "\r\n");
writer.flush( );
// Keep reading lines from the server.
while ((line = reader.readLine( )) != null) {
if (line.toLowerCase( ).startsWith("PING ")) {
// We must respond to PINGs to avoid being disconnected.
writer.write("PONG " + line.substring(5) + "\r\n");
writer.write("PRIVMSG " + channel + " :I got pinged!\r\n");
writer.flush( );
}
else {
// Print the raw line received by the bot.
System.out.println(line);
}
}
}
}
