Hello. I would like to run Irssi in a terminal on my Windows machine. I
have 64-bit Win7. I downloaded the Windows version of the program from the
link on here: http://www.irssi.org. I unzipped everything to one folder and
used the irssi.bat command file to start it. The Windows Terminal fired up
just fine and Irssi initialized its environment. I did get connected
successfully to freenode network with this command: "/connect
chat.freendode.net", and I then joined a channel and chatted. So, all is
good there using a simple connection.
However, I want to connect with freenode using the SSL. I looked at the
instructions for doing so at http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#ssl,
which shows specifically in connection with irssi that this command would be
needed:
/connect -ssl_verify -ssl_capath /etc/ssl/certs chat.freenode.net 6697
It also mentions in that instruction that two certificates would be needed,
both of which I have put copies into the /etc folder and changed the above
path accordingly, like so:
/connect -ssl_verify -ssl_capath %homepath%/mytools/irssi/etc
chat.freenode.net 6697
Nevertheless, whenever I use this command in irssi, it fails to connect with
ssl. These are the messages I get from it:
11:04 -!- Irssi: Connecting to chat.freenode.net [84.240.3.129] port 6697
11:04 -!- Irssi: warning Could not verify SSL servers certificate:
11:04 -!- Irssi: warning Subject : /OU=Domain Control Validated/OU=Gandi
Standard Wildcard SSL/CN=*.freenode.net
11:04 -!- Irssi: warning Issuer : /C=FR/O=GANDI SAS/CN=Gandi Standard SSL
CA
11:04 -!- Irssi: warning MD5 Fingerprint :

11:04 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to chat.freenode.net
So, I am not sure what the problem could be. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
