Maybe it is a bad idea, maybe not. We could provide a query TCP
feature. So if you do not know the client, you open a connection and get
the follwoing features: starttls (for real communication) and query to
get the disco#query results and close the stream after that. Or we use a
second port just for the query. Connect to that port and you get a
stream with just the query results and the socket is closed again.
I now, it is not a good solution, but I have the same problem as
Alban. I need to know what the remote entity can do.
