HTTP2IRC -- An HTTP to IRC bridge
- Lets you chat on IRC using any web client like curl
- Makes it easy to build web apps by using solely client-side javascript and XMLHttpRequest
- Web developers can build IRC web apps without touching IRC, server code, or web sockets
- Allows IRC clients to tunnel through firewalls that block ports 6667/6697 by masquerading as web traffic
Interface:
$ curl -d 'user=username&pass=password&cmd=PRIVMSG #chan :Hello, world!' https://ircnow.org/http2irc
web <--> http2irc <--> ii <--> znc <--> actual irc network
The bouncer znc can later be replaced with bncnow.
