There are three methods for linking directly to an IRC Channel.
Direct to Mibbit Client
- Default: http://mibbit.com/#<channel_name> - uses default mibbit server and selected channel (example: http://mibbit.com/#chat)
- Specify Different Server: http://mibbit.com/#<channel_name>@<server_address> - You can include the IRC server after an @, with an optional port. (example: http://mibbit.com/#chat@irc.mozilla.org)
- Additional Parameters: See URI Parameters - Main Client
- Cannot accept a channel key. To do so, use channel and server URI Parameters.
IRC:// ULRs
This standard is actually used in links. For instance, the Mozilla developer wiki gives links that might be useful. For Mibbit, it is implemented by placing the URL http://mibbit.com/?server=<SERVER>&channel=<CHANNEL> in the address bar or placing IRC://irc.server.net/channel in as a link. It is simple in and of itself, and while there are other parts, they have yet to be used in a non-testing manner. If the person makes Mibbit their default IRC Client in Firefox, any IRC:// link on the web goes to Mibbit. Chatzilla overwrites this without a few specific preferences, and other clients can be made to open the links, if they support IRC:// links. Thus, the IRC:// method is preferred over others.
