as far as i can see this already works perfectly. i do get referer urls like HL2://84.254.71.140:27015 and also i do get Information String "Half-Life2" we do even check the referer and it works like the charm as long as the client does not use thirdparty utils to refuse the referer information (best known for making trouble: norton security).
Ahhhh, Nortons. That'd be the one. Bugger -- I suppose that means there's nothing Valve/Steam can do to ensure the info is passed on. Still doesn't explain why roughly 90% of hl2 traffic includes the referer string, but less than 5% of hl1 traffic does. Must be some strange quirk in my user demographics. Thanks for that.
