I am looking for an ajax web chat solution that supports IRC back end. Basically I have my own IRC server. I want to configure an ajax web chat solution to connect to it. I found tons of ajax web chat solution in Google. But none (except mibbit which is not opensource) matches my criteria.
Do you know of any? If not found I might write one. But I dont want to go to that route.

In answer to your question, I do not know of any. However, I can explain how to implement one: you should be able to take any frontend to any web-based chat client (for example's sake, let's say PHP backend/Javascript frontend), keep it intact, and then modify the backend to suit your needs. If you can find a well-written chat script, you should be able to implement the interfaces it already uses for its own custom chat implementation, which might consist of something like:
interface Chattable
{
function connectToChatDaemon($ip, $channel);
function listen();
function proxyMessageFromClient($message);
function sendMessageToClient($blah);
}
and then re-implement it for IRC! Good luck (:
