Protocol Autoselect
Whenever you link to a web resource that is opened in Mibbit, you can omit the "http[s]:" from the URL. Mibbit will automatically re-add it as necessary. Note that this only happens when Mibbit deals with the URLs internally. If will not automatically add the protocol when you send a message through the server.
This is useful because it prevents browsers from complaining about mixed protocols when a resource is loaded over SSL and another resource is not, and for allowing you to use both http://(chat/widget).mibbit.com and https://(chat/widget).mibbit.com.
Be default, the URLs for Sounds use protocol autoselect.
Direct Channel Linking
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 )
Note: the methods above do not work in IE.
- Alternative Parameters (working in all browsers):
http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23<channel_name>&server=<server_address>
(example: http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23chat&server=irc.mibbit.net). See URI Parameters - Main Client for details. - 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 practical manner. If the person makes Mibbit their default IRC Client in Firefox, any IRC:// link on the web goes to Mibbit. The Chatzilla extension overwrites this unless the user changes specific about:config preferences, and other clients can open the links, if they support IRC:// links. Thus, the IRC:// method is preferred over others.
Note: Any autoconnect set in your Mibbit account overrides the URI parameters.
Main Client users: Ready to use links are provided if you click "Menu" when you are in your channel tab. There is an entry "Link to channel".
