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.

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.

Note: any autoconnect set in your Mibbit account overrides the uri parameters.
