Anonymous connection using "justinfan"

Ah yes. I believe the IRC spec does say both are “required”.

It looks like that is the case, however, they are in reverse, at least according to this document:

IRC messages are always lines of characters terminated with a CR-LF
   (Carriage Return - Line Feed) pair

So in my case that would be \r\n, however, this fails. So IMO something is still not right.

To summarize

  • according to the specs it should be \r\n, which doesn’t work
  • It used to work with just \n, but no longer does
  • \n\r works
  • \n\n works
