Let me tell the story backwards: For some reason, only one line would be fetched in `fetchMoreLines`, but neither `numLines` nor `buffer.requestedLines` were `undefined`. The paramater `numLines` must have had some strange value, though. `connection.fetchMoreLines` is invoked through the main controllers `$scope.fetchMoreLines`, which sets the parameter to `$scope.lines` if it was undefined before. That value is computed in `$scope.calculateNumLines`, which takes the height of the lines area and divides it by the height of the first bufferline. This computation is retriggered on every `resize` event. The first bufferline is the 'fetch more lines' link at the top of the window. If the currently active buffer doesn't have more lines, it is hidden with `ngHide`, causing its `clientHeight` property to be `0`, and the number of lines to be fetched `$scope.lines = Infinity` (due to a division by zero). In `connection.fetchMoreLines`, the following request is then made: `"buffer:0x" + buffer.id + "/own_lines/last_line(-" + numLines + ")/data"` to which WeeChat responds with one line. Voilà, there's your mess. |

A web client for WeeChat 
Glowing Bear is a HTML5 web frontend for WeeChat that strives to be a modern and slick interface on top of WeeChat. It relies on WeeChat to do all the heavy lifting (connection, servers, history, etc) and then provides a few features on top of that, like content embedding (images, video) and desktop notification.
Glowing Bear uses WeeChat directly as the backend through its relay plugin, which allows us to directly connect to WeeChat from the browser using Websockets. That means that the client does not need a special "backend service", everything is provided by the IRC client itself and this frontend is written in pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
You can run Glowing Bear in multiple ways: use it like any other webpage, as a Firefox or Chrome app, a full-screen Chrome app on Android ("Add to homescreen"), and we also provide an Android app that you can install from the Google Play Store.
Getting started
Required WeeChat version: 0.4.2
To use the web interface you first need to set a relay and a password:
/relay add weechat 9001
/set relay.network.password YOURPASSWORD
Then go to the GitHub hosted version of Glowing Bear!

Hosting Glowing Bear yourself
If you want to host the HTML application yourself, it is enough to clone it and serve the pages with a webserver. Here's a simple example using the python simple web server:
git clone https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear
cd glowing-bear
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Now you can point your browser to http://localhost:8000!
