Hi there, I noticed that RFC2812 specifies that the host portion of the source (formerly prefix) should be hostname, ipv4 address, or ipv6 address, I've copied the relevant parts here from RFC2812 as a reference:
However, a lot of IRC servers in the wild support "masking" the host portion, so the client will receive lines like:
:jprjr!~jprjr@user/jprjr JOIN #someroom
This doesn't validate, since that / character isn't allowed in a hostname.
Currently, the Modern IRC docs does not specify what values are allowed in the host portion of a source
