 • SSL support added (to this irc bot)

Posted by ali at 11:00 March 04, 2005
I have added basic SSL server support to the Twisted driver, using PyOpenSSL. Users identify that a network should use SSL connections by setting the <network>.ssl registry value to True.

Currently, all it does is connect to the server. I am happy to take suggestions on what it *should* do, for example verify server certificates etc.

I would implement this in a way that other drivers would be able use (if they ever get SSL-able).

Also, should I change the supybot-wizard to ask the SSL question? It strikes me that if users can't connect the bot to a server, they can't change the registry value to indicate SSL (without hand-editing the registry). On the other hand, users may not have Twisted installed at all.

Regards,

Ali

No, I imagine only advanced users will use the SSL support.

Some code should probably be added to the Socket driver to make sure it refuses to connect when network.ssl is set to True.

Should one call self.irc.die() on this kind of fatal error? Or should the Irc object be left hanging around?

A plugin should never call irc.die unless it wants the entire bot process to exit. Irc objects never die.
