No other IRC daemon seems to do this (today?), don't remember why
ngIRCd did it in the first place ...
Closes#185.
Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
Different operating systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS
lookups, for example "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and
sometimes to "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other
systems resolve "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin).
So not using DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
This fixes two bugs:
- "WHO <nick>" returned nothing at all if the user was "+i"
(reported by Cahata, thanks).
- "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead of "*"
when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
Clean up code and add documentation as well.
Some operating systems, for example OpenBSD, use "localhost.<domain>"
instead of "localhost", so the "who-test" expecting "localhost" failed
on such systems.
RPL_WHOREPLY messages generated by IRC_WHO don't include flags (*,@,+)
that should appear according to this description:
http://www.mishscript.de/reference/rawhelp3.htm#raw352
Other IRC servers do include the flags.
Modify who-test.e to expose missing flags,
modify ngircd-test.conf to accommodate who-test.e, and fix
irc-info.c to correct these problems.
