  • Comment on Commit: Just parse VER using /^VER (.*) ([^ ]*?)$/

    Out of curiosity, I looked up how BinkD does the protocol version parsing:```#define PRTCLNAME "binkp"... if (!memcmp (s, "VER ", 4) && (a = strstr (s, PRTCLNAME "/")) != 0 && (b = strstr (a, ".")) != 0) { state->major = atoi (a + 6); state->minor = atoi (b + 1); Log (6, "remote uses " PRTCLNAME " v.%i.%i", state->major, state->minor);```So... that would match "binkp/1.1" *anywhere* in the VER string (even in parenthesis), likely explaining why IRex never had a problem with BinkD in this regard.

    in
    this regard.

    I had one more dropped connection this morning but already had debugging off. It did print deuce's warning msg on assuming binkp/1.1 so the matching is working but other then that, I don't know why it dropped. I haven't noticed any additional connection drops since, although I'm catching an earful on the MSGID now which I sent them to the wiki.
