Hi Philip, Just a heads up: I'm in the process of possibly tweaking url-irc (and browse-url) to better support irc:// links in internal Emacs apps. If you're interested, this mostly concerns the second patch here: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=56514#22 Basically, I wanted a way to tell `url-irc-erc' whether to connect via TLS without relying on port numbers and without changing the signature of `url-irc-function'. Rather than mess with `func-arity' or the like, I've opted to just hijack an existing variable from the url(-vars) library, `url-current-object', which seems ready made for this purpose. The idea is to simply bind it to the parsed URL object during calls to `url-irc-function'. Please let me know if you see any downsides to doing this or if a smarter approach comes to mind. BTW, as the patch shows, I've left the rcirc side alone. But if you want to handle ircs:// links without bothering with all the `url-current-object' business above, simply arranging to switch to 'tls whenever the port is 6697 should have you pretty well covered, I think. Let me know if that doesn't make sense. Thanks, J.P.
