A NOTICE is used to reply to a PRIVMSG, but what is used to reply to a NOTICE? The dcc resume protocol consists of a send offer, a resume reply, and then an acknowlegement. Would this be PRIVMSG, NOTICE, NOTICE, or PRIVMSG, NOTICE, PRIVMSG, or something else? Amaurea 12:52, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are never supposed to have anything automatically reply to a NOTICE. Also, you want to know about the "DCC resume protocol", not the CTCP protocol, so check that out instead. Oddity- 07:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article still a stub? It is pretty short, but I can't think of anything else to add, unless we are to specify how ctcp escapes work, which I think may be a tad too technical. The german version is longer, but that is just because it is more verbose, and I can't see anything of value to incorporate here. Amaurea 12:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't see anything else can be added, then remove the stub template from it. --Spook ^{(my talk | my contribs)} 10:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It can definitely be expanded. It could include a list of conforming clients, what is most commonly implemented out of the spec (i.e. ACTION is the most common, escapes are (unfortunately) very uncommon, and sound is even less common). It can describe what the standard CTCP character is, it can describe the typical PRIVMSG/NOTICE pattern, it can go into standard uses (i.e. Lag pings, are-you-really-there pings, VERSION pings, etc). Yes, this is still a stub. — EtherealFlaim 09:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PRIVMSG rule

"Since a PRIVMSG as a rule should not generate another PRIVMSG as a reply," Why not?

This page has no cited sources at all. 200.68.94.105 (talk) 14:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the PRIVMSG/NOTICE thing, per RFC1459
This article is a stub, feel free to expand it.
We lack (or at least last I checked) a citation template for internet RFCs. I've been working on other articles in these categories and hopefully by the time I make it to this one someone will have already made a RFC citation template. Also, see The Client-To-Client Protocol (CTCP).
