I did some work on it tonight. I added an auto-check option that will check players as they connect (can be enabled\disabled via cvar). If detected you can apply kick, kick & ban, kick by kill\death ratio, shoot-blanks, or just log\notify-admin punishment. For the kick by kill\death ratio option, it will not kick the player until the ratio is met. Does anyone have any suggestions or requests? I would like to add SQL support so that regulars do not get re-checked every time they connect. I will probably make their SQL entry expire every 2 weeks or so.

First you need to convert the steam-id to steam community id. Once that is done you send a HTTP request with the steam community id.
STEAM_0:1:1007, community-id is 76561197960267743
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960265968
Sometimes the above request will return whether the player is VAC banned or not, but in some cases, a reply is sent from the server referring you to a URL with the players steam community name.
For the above steamid, it returns the following HTTP packet:
Code:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 03:32:13 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c
Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache

Location: http://steamcommunity.com/id/kamekazika/
Content-Length: 0
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
From this packet, you parse the location link
http://steamcommunity.com/id/kamekazika/ and request it. This link will contain the VAC ban status.
