While I'm working out the bugs with the IRC chat, it suddenly dawned on me that the HTML Chat (Alpha Chat for the regulars) can be done in secured mode.

Now, I haven't run a sniffer on it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's secured. Anyone care to test it out?

To initiate a secured alpha chat session just go to:

https://www.fireflyfans.net/fireflychat.asp

The same goes for anything else on this site. Just add a "s" after "http" in the URL.

does it just do straight html form submits and refreshes? it ought to work right thru the https then.

Like Fireflyfans.net?

Yep. That's all it does. When you think about it, it's really kinda cool. All we need is a proxy server service and no one will know you're chatting.

new member (semi-long-time lurker) here, wanted to mention a typo on the IRC chat login page (yeah, i know this thread is for the HTML chat, i was too timid to start a new thread.)

FIREFLYFANS.NET's IRC Server is located at:

irc.fireflyrans.net (168.215.229.20) port 6667

I'm only guessing that it isn't fireflyRans.net

Looking forward to introducing myself in due time.
