Teleconferencing</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Once you have the client installed, you need to tell it to connect to our
|
|
server, which is called <code>irc.debian.org</code>. In most clients, you
|
|
can do that by typing:</p>
|
|
<pre>/server irc.debian.org</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you are connected, join channel <code>#debian</code> by typing</p>
|
|
<pre>/join #debian</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: X-Chat, Zircon and other GUI-based clients are different.</p>

|
|
<p>Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs, aka URLs) are short strings that
|
|
identify resources in the web: documents, images, downloadable files,
|
|
services, electronic mailboxes, and other resources. They make resources
|
|
available under a variety of naming schemes and access methods such as HTTP,
|
|
FTP, and Internet mail addressable in the same simple way. They reduce the
|
|
tedium of "log in to this server, then issue this magic command ..." down to
|
|
a single click.</p>

|
<p>hmm... how would I do this, say, in xchat? I'd like to use XML/HTTP for
|
|
peer-to-peer communication on the desktop (contrast with CORBA approach...
|
|
isomorphism, based on XML Schemas? hmm...). So xchat should listen for
|
|
requests; hm... in this case, is it a GET request? If so, that would simplify
|
|
things: just have the client presenting the document with the link proxy out
|
|
to the xchat server, and away we go. But... is joining a channel something you
|
|
can/should be held accountable for? (@@cf HTTP section about safe methods) if
|
|
it is, this isn not a GET, but some sort of POST. Hm... surely
|
|
<em>sending</em> something to a channel is a POST; but perhaps joining is not?
|
|
hmm... joining is like Rohit's SUBSCRIBE; in that sense, it's not safe.</p>
