How does irc and Xchat communicate?


Does anyone know how Xchat communicate with IRC server? I'm looking for a IRC request message or Xchat request message with each other.


Solution

  • XChat, like all IRC clients, communicates with the IRC server using the IRC protocol, which have specification in RFC1459 and RFC2812.

    XChat also has a "Raw Log" option hidden in it's menu under Window -> Raw Log... which you can use to see all the traffic between XChat and the server.
