See http://robustirc.net/docs.html for more details, but in a nutshell, it’s an IRC network written on top of https://raftconsensus.github.io/ which doesn’t suffer from netsplits. To not be affected by network issues between the client and the IRC servers, clients should use the RobustSession protocol which wraps IRC in a connection-independent HTTPS/JSON-based transport, see http://robustirc.net/docs/robustsession.html for details.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we offer a program called the RobustIRC bridge, which you can configure as a proxy server in WeeChat. The bridge then does the conversion (bridging) from IRC to IRC in RobustSession.\r\n\r\nI intend to submit a pull request for WeeChat to talk RobustSession natively, i.e. without the bridge. Would such a pull request be accepted?\r\n\r\nThank you."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/weechat/weechat/issues/comments/90828274","html_url":"https://github.com/weechat/weechat/issues/385#issuecomment-90828274","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/weechat/weechat/issues/385","id":90828274,"user":{"login":"kaniini","id":1522444,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1522444?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini","html_url":"https://github.com/kaniini","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kaniini/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-08T07:18:47Z","updated_at":"2015-04-08T07:18:47Z","body":"As an aside, what is the point of encapsulating IRC frames inside JSON inside HTTP?
