I'm trying to code my own IRC client just for fun. I want to have an option for connecting to an IRC server through an http proxy server (like mIRC can). I think you have to have a persistant http proxy connection. I have no idea what the raw commands are for a proxy server though. Like if I telnetted to a proxy server:
chase@titanium:~$ telnet proxy-server 80
Trying proxy-server...
Connected to proxy-server.
Escape character is '^]'.
And that's all. I can't figure out any commands. Like even if I could just open a connection to, say, irc.dal.net on port 6667, I could handle the rest.
I've searched on the internet, looked through RFCs, can't find anything. Can someone please come to my aid and help me with command syntax?
