β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Okay so picture this: you wanna make an account on a server. That's literally what this does. It registers you an account on a server, no cap. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
/register <username> <server> [port <port>] [tls
force|allow|trust|direct|disable|legacy]
π ARGUMENTS π
<username>β the username you're registering with. Your lil identity, your main character name. π<server>β the server you're registering that account on. Where the whole thing goes down. πport <port>β the port to use, but only if it's different from the default. And the defaults are5222, or5223for SSL. Know your defaults, iykyk. π₯tls forceβ force a TLS connection, and if one can't be established it just fails. This is the default behavior, so it's the vibe you get unless you say otherwise. Periodt. πtls allowβ use TLS for the connection if it happens to be available. Chill, flexible, lowkey the easygoing option. πtls trustβ force a TLS connection and trust the server's certificate. It's giving "I trust you bestie, no questions asked." π«Άtls directβ use direct TLS for the connection. What that means: the TLS handshake starts right after the TCP connection is established. Straight to business. βtls disableβ disable TLS for the connection. Security? Gone. Don't look at me. πtls legacyβ an alternative keyword for'direct', created back when one still thought that'STARTTLS'is the future. The way that aged... π
