irc:// style URLs



These are a nice way to interlink IRC & the Web.
They are supported by at least 2 Windows clients - mIRC & ViRC

X-Chat doesn't support any command line options, is that correct?

The simple way to support irc:// style URLs would be if X-Chat would run:
xchat irc://irc.server.org/channel

& then launch a new x-chat instance (if one wasn't running already) &
connect to this server & channel.

How easy would this kind of functionality be to add?

Best Wishes,
Fran.


PS: If this could be done, then a simple registry change is needed in
Windows to get browsers to use this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc]
@="URL:IRC Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\XChat\\xchat.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\shell\open]
@="&Connect with X-Chat"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\XChat\\xchat.exe\" %1"
