Features/Problems

• IRC client (for bot)
• IRC server (for gateway to webservices)

Synopsis

Client

        require "net/irc"

        class SimpleClient < Net::IRC::Client
                def on_privmsg(m)
                        super
                        channel, message = *m
                        if message =~ /Hello/
                                post NOTICE, channel, "Hello!"
                        end
                end
        end

Net::IRC::Client manages channel status and the information is set in @channels. So, be careful to use @channels instance variable and call super surely.

Server

see example/tig.rb

IRC Gateways
