Another question...
Once I challenge and get "authed" can I sit and "listen" or do I have to make requests when I want data. One nice thing about halfd is it just spits out updates when there is something to update. If noone has joined the server, no kills made, no flags capped, etc then it doesn't bother to update. So updates can come 5 seconds apart or there can be 3 or more minutes between updates. Quite useful for creating true live status stuff. Without it you have to query just to find out nothing changed. halfd does require authentication btw. It offers admin and user versions of authentication, thus keeping sensitive data private.

Any query API we implement will also have a challenge/response built into it (for everything except "ping" queries).

And it got me to thinking again. Have you thought anymore about an extended server query API for hlds and can you comment on the server query protocol for HL2? You seemed to support the idea of an extended query format at one time...
