_is there any way that anyone may know of to take a chat bot and retrieve information from it in such a way that i can display the informtion ona web page?
specifically, i would like to use a chewbot sitting in a battle.net chat room
and a webpage to display a /who <channel> list of the people in the channel.
is this at all possible? i don't need explicit source, just an answer from someone who may be willing to look into this with me.
would the bot have to reside on the same server that the apache build is running from?
would be a very nice bit of code to have.. if not a bot, does anyone know a method of querying an irc server room?

In case you didn't know, battle.net no longer allows access of telnet bots, which basically means, you can't do that with battle.netGremlin wrote:_is there any way that anyone may know of to take a chat bot and retrieve information from it in such a way that i can display the informtion ona web page?

bnet (http://www.battle.net) does not use IRC protocols.fatal wrote:Are you talking about an IRC Bot?
they use an altered version of the irc protocols, but it's not irc (at least i'm pretty sure of that).
I was reffering to that Anthron.Gremlin wrote:would be a very nice bit of code to have.. if not a bot, does anyone know a method of querying an irc server room?
Now to connect to IRC and preform commands, read up on this Gremlin:
http://www.php.net/manual/fi/ref.ircg.php
actually.
you can still log bots into battle.net, the current chewbot and zd's bot emulate connections by making bnet think it is logged in as an older battlenet enabled game (starcraft, broodwars, diablo1, warcraft 2 bnet edition) and they DO require a valid cd-key to do so.
thanks for the reading reference, but alas, bnet doesnt allow standard irc connections.. i believe chewbot can dump its chat contents into a cache file, i could probably do it that way.
have the bot do the query, dump to a txt file, read text file into array,. spit it out.. erase text file contents..
id like any input on an easier way though...
