Bug #1011
CTCP requests are not sent correctly
100%
Description
CTCP requests have an extra whitespace character in the message sent to the server. This causes some clients (such as X-Chat) to fail to recognize the standard CTCP requests, such as "VERSION", because they do not strip the whitespace from the received CTCP request, "VERSION ".
Marked this as core, though I'm not sure whether the client or the core is responsible here.

i think the space comes from the non-existent 'message' after VERSION;
in src/core/ctcphandler.cpp(164) pack() is defined: return XDELIM + ctcpTag + ' ' + xdelimQuote(message) + XDELIM;
in src/core/ctcphandler.cpp(170) in query() one can find the following line
params << serverEncode(bufname) << lowLevelQuote(pack(serverEncode(ctcpTag), userEncode(bufname, message)));
here ctcpTag = 'VERSION' and message is whatever section() gives for empty stuff, see http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qstring.html#section
so to fix it, one would have to check whether message is empty and if so, don't pack it (i think)
