protocols/irc.py: An exception in the server isn't a reason to drop the client, right?
IMHO, it is. If the protocol isn't specifically designed to deal with exceptions (For example, dynamic web content or PB protocol exceptions) then it's undefined behavior and the connection should be dropped. Bot behavior should be implemented in a layer above the IRC protocol, if there is a place for a catch-all exception handler.
I won't revert this change because I'm not living in that part of the code right now, but Kevin, I suggest you consider it.
You know that it wasn't the bot that was getting disconnected, but other users in the channel? I'm not sure of the technical details behind this, but it does seem odd that other people should get disconnected for stuff that the bot is doing. -- <bitPoet> all of twisted is probably like 3 lines of apl -- Chris Armstrong <<< radix@twistedmatrix.com >>> http://twistedmatrix.com/users/carmstro.twistd/
