In reply to Please help me. I would have to say I'm not sure... If your isp is blocking it you could try putting it on a VPS and have it listen on port 80

Can you use proxy in Microsoft comic chat? My isp block port 6667 and i can’t connect to Mermalid Elizabeth listed servers anymore 🙁

In reply to Maraakate. So you really are a person, Maraakate! I was beginning to think that you were just another one of Max's room bots. Since you are so quiet in the room all of the time! A server in IRC-X mode hides the character text preceding the chatters message, however most servers have changed to IRC-D mode (which is a more secure setting). Unfortuneatly IRC-D shows the annoying character code.

In reply to neozeed. I can look into the : and bold issues. As for Wine, the main challenge is that comic view has never rendered correctly under it, so I had to use a Windows server for that project...

In reply to Mingcong Bai.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. There is a ‘host’ option to specify where to listen, as well with a password option to force clients logging into the proxy to give a password.

python ./comicchat_proxy.py -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8888 chat.freenode.net +6697

and looking at my netstat…

netstat -na | find “888”
TCP 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

So yeah, you can totally run this on any ‘modern python’ machine.

Would it be possible to run the proxy on another machine (say, a Linux server in LAN)? I would like to have IRC working in my 701C running Windows 95 and it might be quite difficult to run both on the same machine (if Python would work on 95 at all).

In reply to calvin. Not necessarily. My experience with code page 932 (Shift-JIS) showed that it used ISO-2022-JP (the usual Japanese legacy encoding for IRC) in Comic Chat, actually.
