possible to get passive mode slots using this?

[Mardeg]

Currently hubs with a *slots* command only return results from active users.
Could this extension listen on a UDP socket for passive user results of an "active mode" search?

You can make a very simple script that can do this.
However, it would be rather resouce full and not recommended on larger hubs.

1. create udp socket
2. broadcast a $Search to all users (e.g. search for xxx, txt, nfo something all plls have)
3. read data from port you want
4. parse the $Sr command and get the slot info
5. do whatever you need to do with this info

If you have any firewall/router you must take the same steps for udp as you do for dc++ client in active mode.

Doesn't PtokaX already listen on a UDP socket anyway for (useless) serverside search purposes?

I can't say if ptokax itself listen on a UDP socket for searches, but I doubt it does.
Normally a Direct Connect protocol server do only work with TCP. And for DC
UPD is only used to deliver search results ($SR) to an active mode client.

PtokaX uses an UDP port for this purpose.
