Disconnects and reconnects to ZNC needlessly on upstream IRC server issues
Hello,
I use HexChat with ZNC bouncer. It appears like ZNC does not reply to PING on its own, but just transparently passes that through to the upstream IRC server.
Today I had some issues with the upstream server not responding. As a result I see HexChat disconnecting and reconnecting to ZNC over and over again, despite there being nothing wrong with ZNC itself or connection to it (it is 100% stable), just no PONGs come from the actual IRC server.
* No ping reply for 80 seconds, disconnecting.
I searched around to see if there's a way to make ZNC reply to PING on its own, but there doesn't appear to be. And there doesn't seem to be a way to disable this annoying disconnect behavior in HexChat (short of recompiling).
It seems that you have not considered IRC bouncers when adding this disconnect feature. At the very least it should be configurable with a way to turn it off.
It's 2021 and I still seem to be able to confirm this - is there no one who could patch this out. please?
This seems to be a duplicate of issue #2024.
