Subject: M-x irc failing to timeout, freezing Emacs, when IRC blocked by firewall
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 11:34:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAC7GPxZCX9Frf-9rMg33_WLwPF828Vk5ea+zfSGvKNwo4b5DcA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In some network environments, IRC is blocked (e.g., WiFi hotspot requires
HTTP authentication before allowing non-HTTP traffic). In such an
environment, when I try to M-x irc to get onto Freenode, Emacs freezes up,
requiring me to kill the emacs process.
My .emacs:
https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs
Is there a hook or other configuration I can write in my .emacs to protect
against this freezing, e.g., by adding a timeout?
$ specs emacs brew os
Specs:
specs 0.8
