The ircs:// uri scheme is not supported
Steps to reproduce
this could be a link:
Why should we have this
IRC is traditionally unencrypted, which was bad. Thankfully more and more IRC servers do have SSL encryption turned on right now. The problem is that MoinMoin only recognizes irc:// URIs, so if you use a browser (like Firefox) who already does recognize ircs:// it does not help you very much, because MoinMoin thinks that you do not want this kind of URL.

Discussion
I suggest that everything that has the pattern .*://.* should be made automatically a link. Firefox does understand this link and theoretically a user can configure as many links as he wants in about:config with Mozilla browsers.
Maybe we should include a list of URIs as a list for the configuration file? So that one could enable further uris (before :// ) -- ThiloPfennig 2006-10-03 20:14:35
The above reference is an IETF draft. Furthermore, see HelpOnConfiguration, you can already use the config var today.
Well this might be a draft but practically irc via SSL does exist. To enable linking I have now done my first patch.
