irc-rss-feed-bot Add SASL as Login method....

Hi,

any chance to include SASL Login? As my server is configured with SASL it would be nice if the feed bot could connect with SASL, too.

SASL is auto-added if ns_identity is specified.

With regard to irc-rss-feed-bot, this translates to specifying nick and IRC_PASSWORD. I don't see what else is needed. It is already supposed to work.

Thanks for your reply. Auto SASL seems really implemented in miniirc which seems to be used. Problem here is: I have a password to connect to the irc server and then have tor provide nick+passwd (SASL). So server password seems not implemented in Miniirc...!?

server_password is implemented in a newer version of miniirc. I don't know if that is what will address your issue.

https://github.com/luk3yx/miniirc says:

server_password Sends the password with PASS command immediately after connection. If you are looking to log into a NickServ account, you probably want to use ns_identity instead.

I haven't updated the bot in a long while, but I will see about allowing the server_password to be configured.

Ah, ok, I see. Yes, I have to send the server password after connection and then Nick+passwd (SASL).

If you will find some time anytime to implement server_password, this would be great.. 👍
