[IRCServices] Modifying services to allow for web-based registration with nickserv

[&quot]

Hi,

We are currently writing a script in PHP that allows a user to register his
nickname with Nickserv via a web interface. The script connects to the IRC
server, registers the nickname with the desired password, and logs off.

Our problem is the following: what can the script do if the requested
nickname is already in use?

Therefore, I wanted to know your ideas on how to work around this problem.
At the moment, we're thinking about trying to modify services to allow a
certain user to register nicknames without needing to take them first.

How could this be done safely? What are you views on this or other possible
ways?

Your feedback is appreciated. Regards,

Mehran
