I tried a series of problematic commands in the test room with OQ, but we cannot reproduce the issue.

Output should still be limited to 3 or 4 lines (even errors) to prevent a denial of service attack on the bot.

It seems that the main issue is the "newline" character in the response from HTTP. It must be stripped first, because the IRCd treats it as a command evaluation. The bot can split the long output to chunks of messages.

I close it now, it can be reopened if necessary.
