i was bored today and realized that the protocol is like, dead simple. as far as i can tell, this is the absolute minimum required to parse finger requests:

If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.

Neat, but for some reason, I'm just getting back the username I requested and Verbose=false.
ah yeah, that's what the get_plan() function in my code returns. It doesn't actually query the server filesystem for a .plan file. I figured that'd be up to the user of the code to actually implement, as that requires a lot more security considerations.
Ah, that makes sense. It's still pretty neat how simple the protocol is to implement. Right now I'm using a fork of IcculusFinger that uses SQLite to store archives - I should make a post about that.
