netchat's Issues

Server uses old MySQL module

The newer module is 'mysql2'.

Server uses deprecated 'gserver' module

It's now only available as a Gem. It's only used for telnet admin so we can just roll our own small TCP server.

J-Client hangs if SSL is turned on but server has SSL turned off

Repro:

1. Start server without SSL
2. Start J-Client with SSL

Expected:
Graceful error out

Actual:
J-Client hangs (has to be killed with SIGKILL)

NoMethodError when server is exited with Ctrl-C

Repro:

1. Start the server (start.sh)
2. Hit Ctrl-C

Expected:
Server exits cleanly

Actual:
NoMethodError emitted from calling on_registry_delete on a nil at NCMChat.rb:182

Log:

Py-Client crashes when SSL is used

Repro:

1. Start the server with SSL enabled
2. Start the Py-Client with ./start -H localhost (if server is running locally)

Works

Immediate crash

Thank you for using Py-Client. :)

Py-Client is broken on Python 3

Sorry @sfuqua, I was wrong :P
