[Toolserver-l] Two beginner questions

[Михајло Анђелковић]

Long ago I have noticed that the irc server is kicking my bot out
after some time from some reason.

Then I looked closer and noticed there is a server's ping around that
mishaps. Alright, then I just added an ad-hoc pong:

	public void responsePing(String line) {
		try {
			out.println("PONG :" + line.substring(line.indexOf(":")+1));
		} catch(Throwable th) {
			// ...
		}
	}

And said it to go to hell. Pure storytelling is not why I am writing
this. I have a question. I was returning the server whatever it was
sending to me as a ping. This is how it worked like two years ago. Has
something changed?
