When connecting to the irc.netgamers.org network the network join
command does not work. The reply to the issued commands is "not
registered". I guess the command is sent to early during the connection.
This is really sad because there seems no way to autoidentify to this
network, as their bot useses a uncommon syntax (/msg
P at cservice.netgamers.org LOGIN nick passwd), also to cloack a "/mode
nick +x" is required.

The problem seems that the command is not parsed but directly sent to
the server. So /msg wont work, but PRIVMSG ... will do. The
documentation should be fixed, it clearly states "/msg " as examle, the
server response then is unknown command.
So it is not a timing issue but maybe a documentation / not parsed
issue.

I rewrote "Commands" in SVN a couple of months ago - it does parse now.
The timing issue exists regardless in a number of situations, though, so
I chose to make this the bug for it.

I just noticed that the problem especially exists when a nickname is
already in use. The auto commands are sent before the alternate
nickname.
P.S. I am using 0.19 #3100, wich is the latest available for Kubuntu.

The same goes for auto-join. It should only be run after fully
identified to services, which is not the case right now.
On freenode, the following happens:
== Main window ==
[Notice] -NickServ- This nickname is owned by someone else
[Notice] -NickServ- If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
[Notice] -NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized
[Notice] -kornbluth.freenode.net- NickServ set your hostname to "gentoo/developer/rbu"
== Channel window ==
--> You have joined the channel #gentoo-dev (n=rbu at i59F773B4.versanet.de).
while it should be
--> You have joined the channel #gentoo-dev (n=rbu at gentoo/developer/rbu).

For the record: The reason we're not currently doing this isn't because
we're lazy or because we're stupid, but because it's non-trivial, or
rather because the only "solutions" are extremely unattractive.
Authentication on IRC is essentially unstandardized, despite multiple
efforts to correct that problem over the years (the latest of which is
IRC+, which we're involved with to some degree). There's no reliable
protocol by which to authenticate and wait for success or failure.
The first thought tends to be "so just delay that stuff by a few seconds". That solution is undesirable for a number of reasons:
* If the amount of time to wait is fixed and too low, it enters the realm of being unreliable; creating potential race conditions due to variable latency.
* If the amount of time is fixed and too high, it's detrimental to the user experience: Connecting to a network takes longer for (to the user) unclear reasons.
* If the whole thing is to be optional and the delay configurable, we're dealing with an ugly option cluttering up the UI.
A better solution what we're calling "the contingency waiting scheme", which roughly works as follows:
* If the Auto-Identify fields are filled in, the authentification command is sent as early as possible in the connection process. Similarly, if one of the auto-connect Commands matches one in a list of known authentification message patterns, it's singled out and sent first.
* Auto-join and the other auto-connect commands are deferred until a timer set to a fixed amount times out.
* If a known authentification success message is received prior to timeout (checked against a white list), the timeout is pre-empted and auto-join and commands commence immediately. The same for a known failure.
The reason that solution is undesirable is that it opens up the
Pandora's Box of trying to abstract all the different services
implementations out there by collecting their replies and shipping the
lists in the app, and keeping them updated.
The third solution is to defer the problem to the user: Add a scripting
interface that allows power users to upload some code into the app that
disables automatic auto-join/commands and instead triggers it when
recognizes an incoming message as an authentification success. I find
that degree of customizability/scriptability to be desirable and we will
strive to attain it, but as a solution to this problem it's ultimately
rather user-unfriendly.
Thus we're currently leaning towards option #2, but implementing it is
definitely not our idea of a good time.

What's the status on this? I'm tired of typing '/join #python' on
freenode because I get rejected.
My issue here is auto-join which is ATM totally unusable since all channels needing identification are flat out rejected.
99.9% of the time a 1000 ms delay between nickserv identification and autojoin commands is sufficient. I'm not in favor of defaulting to this delay, but please just make this delay user settable in either the 'edit network' dialog or the 'identities' dialog and make it default to zero, wich would reproduce current behavior while at the same time allowing for a trivial workaround. This will make things useable again while waiting for a more efficient solution.

On Freenode, you can use the network-specific workaround (although it
has been adopted by other networks as well by now) of using the nickserv
password as the server password, in which case the network will take
care of it.

It would help if "/sleep <seconds>" was a valid command in the Command
window. That way the user could delay the automated sending of
commands. Many telephones/cellphones have a similar concept for speed-
dialing, where "t<number>#" causes a pause of <number> seconds, useful
to get past menues. E.g. 555-555-5555t11#2t3#5t2#7 would successfully
dial a number, wait 11 second, dial 2, wait 3 seconds, dial 5, wait 2
seconds, dial 7.

Okay. It might be helpful if this information could be hinted at in the
Identity dialog. Currently the user experience is suboptimal, too. It
could also enter the handbook.

To expand on what Alex has said, and to provide information on what has
changed in the next release:
- Authenticating via the server password is indeed supported by several
networks. On Freenode, you can also enter "accountname:password" (with
the colon but without the quotation marks) as the server password to
authenticate independently of the nickname you are connecting with.
- To make this easier to discover the 1.5 release has a new Auto
Identify UI in the Identities dialog. You can now choose among several
types of authentication there, including "Server Password". If the
server password is set via the identity this way, it will override the
server settings.
- Additionally, we now support SASL PLAIN authentication, also
configurable in the Identities dialog. This is now the recommended
method to authenticate with services on networks that support it,
including Freenode.
- And the "Standard NickServ" authentication type has been improved as
well, making the command configurable (previously hard-coded to
"identify").
- We also have plains to add support for authenticating with client
certificates soon, supported e.g. by OFTC. At that point we will support
basically all authentication options supported by networks today.
