HTMLServ

A silly attempt to connect to InspIRCd's 1205 server-to-server protocol from a web browser via WebSocket. I know absolutely nothing about JavaScript and web browsers, so this is obviously a good first project in that environment.

Forked from 9pfs/hello-smile6's attempt for solanum.

Comparison with CoupServ

CoupServ (git.andrewyu.org/sr.ht/GitHub) is a (probably more usable) InspIRCd-linking pseudo-server written by Test_User.

Of course, ensure that you have a sslprofile called Servers.
