Summary0001199: Whois replies
DescriptionSomething I found which didn't make much sense.

If you type /whois <nick> and the nick is not online you are sent the following response:
<nick> No such nick/channel
-
<nick> End of /WHOIS list.

When you do an advanced whois (for lack of better word) by typing /whois <nick> <nick> you are given this reponse:
No such server
-
No such server

Just wondering if that's supposed to be like that...

It's because _I think_ originally such an advanced whois was like:
whois server.where.person.is.at person
(ie: whois irc.blah.net gaflag)
and if you do 'whois gaflag gaflag' it will search for the server of gaflag which isn't found... blah.. fun isn't it? ;p.

I'm used to it from ircnet ircd, but looks like at least the undernet ppl decided to change it :p.

I prefer it this way since it's more clear that our server doesn't find the client, it didn't even query the remote server. Ah well, I'm just a bit conservative ;).
