It'd be useful if there was an option to specify a proxy for IRC connections so a bouncer / irc proxy can be used. This usually would be a different proxy from the globally set proxy used for http, ssh, etc.
Both me and upstream are a bit confused by this bug report. Afaik to use an IRC proxy/bouncer you just specify the proxy as the server instead of your normal irc server? So that should work with the current -idle.
I suppose you want support for socks proxy and things like that ? Yep, that's the sort of thing I mean. There's several bouncers that support socks or by addition of a custom command "CONNECT" in the IRC protocol that is used for selecting the target network that should be used.
Cheers,
