Download ircuwhois.pl

This script is based on the quakenet.pl script I first found on
http://www.oberkommando.org/~senneth/irssi/scripts/ — I only extracted
the message formatting part, though.

Many IRC servers introduce reply codes which are not, or not fully
supported by Irssi. Since I was an avid user of QuakeNet and Undernet
IRC networks, which are both running the same software, I was
dissatisfied with Irssi’s presentation of the /whois output.

In particular, this script formats the reply containing the user’s account
name (this is used by network services), the user’s actual IP and
hostname (the hostname shown in the user@hostname string may be replaced
with a custom one on these networks), and whether the user is connected
via SSL (this is an extension not present on QuakeNet or Undernet,
though).

This script is not really important, but it was important to please my
aesthetical senses.
