Take a look at http://coding.valve-erc.com (new articles)
I don't know if it's really what you look for, but
it's a good reference anyhow :)

Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Server Protocol for Half-Life
Hi,
Does anyone have a C++ example of retrieving the server information ?
Thanks,
Simon
PS: Paul, I looked at your PHP stuff and it is doing what I am aiming for
(though in a Windows app). I have seen PHP/Perl examples on the Internet
(source code and all), but I cannot remember where they were. If I could, I
would analyse the code to figure out how they parse it and port it to a C++
COM component or class. I'll keep looking.

I did mine all in PHP for the web.
Take a look.

Though I am in the middle of designing an admin type app or a status app for
Half-Life.

I use "����"

As I said above mine was done in php.
