You should get a window asking what application to open it with. IRC is an open protocol and there's many clients you can use (same like with browsers).

If you don't want to worry about downloading anything, try Mibbit. Server is BadnikNET, channel #telefang.

What browser are you all using? When I use Firefox, the link works just fine for me.

If you go to the address directly without irc installed or without a working irc protocol wrapper it returns an error message. However it is trying to redirect twice via php to the url, which causes it to fail silently and display an empty white screen because the second redirect failed. This is because irc isn't a real protocol, it is interpreted by the browser and by the looks of it anything other than chatzilla in firefox will fail to respond. Unfortunately the forum's don't allow a direct link.

Firefox 3 btw.

I'm using chrome, maybe that's why it doesn't work.

Alright I have found a solution:

<?
header("Location: irc://irc.badnik.net/#telefang");
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location='http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=1f2a ... 23telefang';
</script>

http://andwhyisit.com/dnd/tfirc.php

It attempts to redirect to the irc address via php, but falls back on mibbit (javascript redirect) if the irc protocol is absent.

Sorry I kinda jumped in and out of irc several times while testing.
