no I didn't misunderstand anything, I had a doubt when I saw the "IRC" interface could be launched directly from a browser page... but as I've never used that before I went the "IRC" way just in case some sort of actual IRC client would be launched...and that wasn't relevant here obviously. Now, there must be a way to do something through the exclusion list... after taking a look of what's being exactly scanned by the WebShield.
