Allow empty lines to be sent to the server (1007 bytes, patch)

Description Ansgar Burchardt 2009-03-05 22:36:15 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When logging in as a guest to an internet chess server, the server asks to press "return", but gnome-chess will not send anything to the server when the input field is empty.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Settings -> Preferences, Servers, Add
   Server: freechess.org
   Port: 5000
   Username: guest
   Password: (empty)
   Connect Program: telnet
2. File -> New -> Servers -> freechess.org
3. Select the prompt below the terminal window and press return


Actual results:
The terminal window displays the message
   Press return to enter the server as "GuestRHDY":


Expected results:
gnome-chess should send an empty line to the server and the login should complete.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
As a workaround, entering anything and then pressing return works.

Allow empty lines to be sent to the server

This patch will allow sending empty lines to the server.
The code below the new if statement should be indented, but I omitted this to keep the patch more readable.

This application has been unmaintained for a while and its maintainer (Robert Wilhelm) will not work on it soon. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
