Protocol
Real Address Chat is a protocol based on TCP intended for chatting, like IRC. It was supposed to be an “IRC killer,” but in reality, its implementation is poor. There’s also a community-made successor called WRAC. It’s basically the same as RAC, but it uses WebSockets instead of TCP for connections.
If you want to experiment with or implement RAC in your client or server, use the documentation below to understand how it works.
