Hello all,

I am hosting an ergo irc server with self signed certificates.
Connecting to any public irc server works as expected. ii prints the
following when I try to connect to my server.

$ ii -s servername.com -p 6697
NICK nando
USER nando localhost servername.com :nando

ii: remote host closed connection: No such file or directory

I patched ii with tls encryption support and ran

$ ii -t -s servername.com -p 6697
ii: tls_handshake: certificate verification failed: self signed certificate

I connected through hexchat by accepting invalid ssl certificates.
Is there a similair option for ii? Any help would be appreciated.

Best,
Fernando
