no-implicit-names

This specification has been superseded by the IRC draft/no-implicit-names extension.

Description

This document describes the no-implicit-names extension. This allows clients to opt-out from the implicit NAMES reply servers send after JOIN messages.

Some clients don't need to query the list of channel members for all joined channels. Omitting this information can reduce the time taken to connect to the server, especially on mobile devices and when a large number of channels are joined.

Implementation

The no-implicit-names extension introduces the soju.im/no-implicit-names capability. When negotiated, servers MUST NOT send an implicit NAMES reply after sending a JOIN message. Servers MUST reply to explicit NAMES commands sent by the client as usual.
