When i connect to twitch on pidgin, my Client keeps getting the "WHO:
Unknown Command" How do I stop pidgin from sending this? or How do I
suppress the error?
reddit / irc

When I first logon to IRC on X-Chat it does the same thing, but only
when i first logon, I will get the "WHO: Unknow Command" 3-4 times in
a row, and that is all. This si with a clean install of pidgin and
x-Chat.

There's no sane way to suppress it.  WHO is a command that IRC servers
are required to implement in the RFCs but apparently twitch is using
an only partially completed IRC daemon.

Indeed. Twitch's IRCd sucks, it seems to only implement 2% of the
protocol if that.

Twitch should read the IRC RFCs sometime.

Or just use an existing ircd, possibly with a psuedoserver attached
for special functionality that would too slow in a bot due to client
sendq limits and throttling.
