| Summary | 0002614: Away message length | ||||
| Description | After some playing around I had noticed the away message length is 307 characters, which is the same as TOPICLEN. After discussing this in #Unreal-Support with Stskeeps, I found that the away message length can be up to 378 characters before reaching the 512 limit. This is based on: 512 - HOSTLEN - numeric - NICKLENx2 - 6 (spaces and :'s) - CRLF = 378 This is based on the RPL_AWAY numeric, which seems to be the numeric that sends the most data dealing with away messages. | ||||

There's also the server-to-server format. But that's: : + <NICKLEN> + <space> + AWAY + <space>: + <message> 1 + 30 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 38 512 - 38 = 474. So yeah, RPL_AWAY has the most "non-message" material. |

Who said it is limited to 307 for technical reasons? I never did. |

|
307 is fine. |
