Check the size of the message (header included) before sending over socket and then perform message split.
<rany> You're doing
<rany> PRIVMSG deavmi abcdefe
<rany> PRIVMSG deavmi fgh
<rany>
<rany> well that'sd what you need to do
<rany> if you did this in sendMessage/encodeMessage
<deavmiLaptop> ` PRIVMSG deavmi abcdefe`
<rany> it will do:
<rany> PRIVMSG deavmi abcdefe
<rany> fgh
<deavmiLaptop> is the spacing intentional here?
<rany> no, just formatting
<deavmiLaptop> PRIVMSG deavmi fgh
<deavmiLaptop> ah
<rany> fgh isn't an irc command so it won't go trhy
<deavmiLaptop> Yes
<rany> thru*
<deavmiLaptop> so wait
<deavmiLaptop> Let's say 6 was maxlen
<deavmiLaptop> then privateMessage("Hellon")
<deavmiLaptop> should effectievly split into:
<deavmiLaptop> PRIVMSG deavmi Hello
<deavmiLaptop> PRIVMSG deavmi n
<rany> yep
<deavmiLaptop> is what you are saying
<deavmiLaptop> ah
<deavmiLaptop> I get why you are saying now
<deavmiLaptop> It needs command awareness then
<rany> the limit isn't in message size
<rany> but IRC command size
<deavmiLaptop> Like sendMessage()
<deavmiLaptop> rany, yes sorry
<deavmiLaptop> I meant then max irc command ended at the o
<deavmiLaptop> of hello
<deavmiLaptop> just for the sake of the example
<rany> so PRIVMSG and channel message have didferent max sizes
<deavmiLaptop> Yes
<deavmiLaptop> that makes sense
<rany> because the commadn to run a private message and channel message is diff
<deavmiLaptop> aight, oki doki
<rany> and even among the same type
<rany> the user might have a long nick
<deavmiLaptop> Can i copy this log into the github issue?
<rany> ys
<deavmiLaptop> for ref?
<deavmiLaptop> thanks
<rany> yes*
Notes 2
<rany> deavmiLaptop: in short you need to first take length of `PRIVMSG <<nick>>`
<deavmiLaptop> Yes
<rany> and then get the maximum IRC command size if negotiated by IRC server
<rany> or use RFC's limit
<rany> then do your calc based on that
Check the size of the message (header included) before sending over socket and then perform message split.
