I realize that with the Tour just being released, some apps are not working properly quite yet. The reason I'm making this thread is to ensure that perhaps my issue is permissions related or something else other than "wait for the developer to come out with a new version".

I tried installing Virca 1.1.20 and connecting to an irc server and I get the following message:

!Connecting... wait
!Error connecting: java.io.IOException: Invalid url parameter.

I get the same message using jmIrc. Any tricks/suggestions about getting these to work or just be patient? I'm also open to suggestions if you guys use another IRC program that you could recommend.

I'm also looking for SSH client recommendations for BB/Tour.

I'd suggest MidPSSH for ssh. They use a java version that isn't dependant on your exact phone model so it should work. I still have the 8330 so i'm not talking from experience. Also i'm on my 8830 atm or i'd get you a link, just google it.

Bah, this gives me the same error as the IRC issues.

Session Error
Writer: Invalid url parameter.

[lahnipm]

Anyone else getting "java.io.IOException: Invalid url parameter." with the 9630 using programs like IRC and/or SSH?

I'm having the same issue with jMIrc on my Verizon Tour too. I hope that we can come up with a fix soon. I'll take a look tomorrow and see if I can figure out something, providing that someone doesn't beat me to it

I hope you have better luck than what I've had so far...

So far nothing new. Still can't seem to find a program that works for IRC and/or SSH that doesn't throw the same error message yet.

[dabomb4097]

Is there any update or fix for getting jmIRC to connect properly on the Tour 9630?

[lahnipm]

None that I'm aware of yet unfortunately....

[dabomb4097]

MidPSSH seems to be working fine on my Tour, but still no luck with jmIRC.

[lahnipm]

Could you post the link to where you downloaded it? Couldn't get my version of midPSSH to connect.

I used version 1.6.0 on their website, the one under Blackberry Build (Telnet, SSH1, SSH2) for OS 4.

I can't post a direct link because it says my post count must be greater than 10 to post links

[Libertopian.Rockstar]

Just wondering if there's an update to this thread yet.

[forkup]

Have you tried CoolIrc? I like it nore than any other irc client for the Blackberry.

Any updates on this? I've tried 4 diff irc clients, none of them worked. -> "invalid url parameter"

I did get Midpssh to work from ota.deltatech.com.mx via blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/152316-custom-build-midpssh-blackberries.html

How'd you get to Midpssh to work? I visited that site you posted, but it's not telling me anything I don't already know.

[ipig]

the build @ deltatech.com.mx/midpssh/beta2/midpssh-bb-ota.jad

- 1.7.4

worked for me

[webmastir]

still having same problem

anyone else confirm that they have a working irc or ssh app for bb tour?

[vecnix]

here is how I got MidpSSH working on my Tour..
edit a session and change "Connection Type" from 'Default' to 'TCP/IP'

hope that helps
have a nice day

oh freakin sweet! thx...works now! i no longer receive that weird error.
i wonder if there is a way to connect to an ssh server w/ a different port than default(22)

edit: nvm.... used the obvious host(colon)port syntax

[webmastir]

Now, back to irc... how can you get it to work on the Tour? I've tried a few different ones, and I keep getting the infamous "java.io.IOException: Invalid url parameter" error.

[ipig]

Vecnix: you using the same build/version 1.7.4? Or a diff one?

[ipig]

"Invalid url parameter" - Google Search

.. Nothing to see here ..

[webmastir]

yes. i'm aware of google search & have tried it, but it's not helping my specific problem with JmIrc. I've tried entering that info in the http proxy stuff(for my provider in jmirc settings), but it doesn't seem to help.
