This is nice (and it means I probably have messed up my earlier tests).

But to finish this, NAMESX or multi-prefix should be enabled automatically when available, since it fixes a bug in the protocol, and there is practically no case where anyone should want to disable it.

Just tested, it is already working (since at least version 0.3.0): if many prefixes are found for a nick in list of names (with or without multi-prefix enabled), WeeChat will automatically store and use all the prefixes.

maybe it would be possible to support WHOX /who #channel %nf in case cap/protoctl/handshake namesx/multi-prefix is not available. Just a thought.

Just for the record, this is the problem multi-prefix solves:

1. Enable "nick list" in clients A and B.

2. From client A, join channel X.

3. Set both +o and +v for client A.

Client A will show "@user" in nicklist.

4. From client B, join channel X.

Client B will show "@user" in nicklist.

5. From any client, set -o for client A.

With multi-prefix, both A and B will show "+user" in nicklist.

Without multi-prefix, client B will show "user" in nicklist, because it wasn't informed about the "+" prefix.

This is based on task #9353. I'm submitting as this as a separate task since the two extensions mentioned in #9353 are separate as well, and not all servers even support both.

NAMESX is an extension that causes /all/ user prefixes (op, voice, etc) to be displayed in the NAMES reply, instead of just the highest prefix. (The prefixes are always ordered by rank; from highest to lowest.) For example:


:irc.example.tld 353 grawity @ #nullroute :~@+grawity @%grawtest


This avoids confusion when a user has multiple prefixes, and their highest prefix is removed – without NAMESX, the nicklist would show them as having no prefix at all; with NAMESX, the remaining highest prefix can be shown.

  • If CAP is available, request the "multi-prefix" capability during registration. [charybdis, ircd-seven, unrealircd devel]


  • If CAP is not available but RPL_ISUPPORT has the "NAMESX" token, send "PROTOCTL NAMESX" command. (In this case, autojoin needs to be delayed until after the PROTOCTL command is sent.) [unrealircd]
