Bug Description

Binary package hint: xchat

If I click on an ircs:// URI scheme Epiphany reports back that ircs is not registered. ircs means TLS secured IRC and Xchat does support it, but it ignores something like "xchat --existing --url=ircs://....".

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, thats not a bug in xchat but in epiphany. The browser must know, what programs to start for a specific protocol.

thank you for your bug report, the issue seems to be an upstream one, could you open it on bugzilla.gnome.org too?

xchat-gnome should install those, not epiphany, reassigning to xchat-gnome.
