           Summary: Konversation does not auto-join channels when
                    connecting to Hector IRC server
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: protocol
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: drubo at drubo.net


Version:           1.4 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Hector can be found here: https://github.com/sstephenson/hector#readme

When Konversation starts, it automatically connects to the servers that I have
specified. Most of them, including OFTC, auto-join channels when the connection
is
finished. My connection to a Hector server does not automatically join
channels, but manually joining channels with /join does work.

One of the IRC features that Hector does away with is the connection MOTD. I
have a hunch that Konversation is waiting for the MOTD before it will
automatically join channels. No evidence to support this, though. 

I know one of the major Hector contributors and he assures me that the MOTD is
not a required part of the protocol, it's just a convention. Also, in lieu of a
MOTD, Hector sends 422 ERR_NOMOTD, as specified in RFC 2812:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#page-55

So this would seem to be a client issue.

This has also been reported as Debian bug #656250.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start Konversation with a hector server in the server list and at least one
channel specified in "auto join channels", and either have it to set to connect
at application start or press connect. 

Actual Results:  
Konversation connects to the server:

[11:46] [Info] Looking for server irc.blolol.com (port 6868)...
[11:46] [Info] Server found, connecting...
[11:46] [SSL Connection Warning] The SSL certificate for the server
irc.blolol.com (port 6868) failed the authenticity check.
[11:46] [Info] Connected; logging in...
[11:46] [Welcome] Welcome to IRC

This is the end of the server messages. Konversation does not open any
channels. 

Expected Results:  
Konversation should have automatically joined the channel I specified.
