--- Comment #1 from Eike Hein <hein kde org>  2008-12-18 12:37:03 ---
It doesn't work that way. IRC is server-as-authority, i.e. the client reacts to
what the server tells it to do. A client is correct to assume that it isn't in
away state unless the server tells it that it is after a connection has been
established. In the case of a bouncer/proxy, it's the bouncer's job to relay
the away state to a connecting client; the client shouldn't have to ask for it.
Please file a bug report with the developers of your bouncer/proxy.

To further exemplify the server-as-authority nature of IRC:
- When a user issues a /join command, the client actually only opens a channel
in response to being told by the server that it has joined that channel.
- When a user issues a /away <reason> comment, the client actually only
switches into the away state in response to being told by the server that it
has entered the away state.
