 Steam is not Java-based. :) I don't know what started that rumor.

If the MOTD is html and Steam is java based? Then isnt it remotely
possible
someone could exploit this to cause exception or overflow errors to gain
root access to a clients comp?

Sorry I am kinda new to the coding scene (mainly reworkin older plugin
scripts so far), but I am concerned about the languages used in
this...Don't

When I tried a simple java redirect in a modt window I didn't work,
which would lead me to believe that scripting is disabled.

I'm sure someone will find something. You can't just dump HTML parsing
in the MOTD VGUI routines and expect it to be bug free.

when was the last time you saw a pure HTML exploit in a modern browser?
HTML is a data format, not a programming language. About the worst you
could do is crash the browser (eg. the game), and even exploits of that
level are rare. But why bother? Then you're keeping up an HL server
no-one can join.
