Oh OK sorry. I didn't correctly understand what you said here:

Always check up with third parties, (e.g. if they have any terms of services / acceptable usage policies available) for their services, if they don't, ask them if you may use their API end points for things like this. There is also no guarantee that the end point used will be available next month, next year, or even the year after that.. So in theory, there are chances that your provided plugin will break too.

His last activity was about two years ago.
So I deleted the url from code but I don't know PHP at all.

If someone can write it please do it.

You have to forgive me but I'm not really following. I'll try and read that page on GitHub to understand what I need to do to get the plugin to work :p

EDIT:

Locate a public folder on a website capable of hosting PHP files and with "php_curl" extension enabled.

Ok does that mean I need a webspace for this plugin to work?
Maybe I can just host that PHP stuff on my own server?

Yes you should upload it to a host and set the URL in plugin cvar "sm_private_kick_url to work.

Too bad, isn't there another way to do that for free? (Legally of course)
Free webspace providers, whatever..
I can't really afford buying a webspace at the moment :/

I also don't know 100% sure if the owner wants that kind of use from other plugins or not.... But, when there is no public information about using his end point.

Actually, during the night before last night, I helped someone in the Veterans thread, where the API end point wasn't giving proper data due to some strict CloudFlare security settings on the author's site. Switching to another, but temporary end point which wasn't going over CloudFlare fixed it.

I adjusted things to create a more permanent solution, and here is a link you can use as much as you like:

https://steamapi.darkserv.download/veterans/

(Yes! It is correct: There should not be any "queryPlaytime.php" on the end!)

Feel free to spam away on this API end point though. It's a mirror created for the same purpose.

I'm sorry if I got that wrong, but does that URL allow me to make this plugin work without renting a webspace?

Yeah you are right !

Thank you so much for the link too


A help request please:

I received a private message from someone that plugin doesn't works.
I edited it and added some debug logs. The problem is from Body Size value (iBodySize in plugin).
It doesn't returns 0 when client profile is private so plugin does not detects it's private!

Here I uploaded the new source: https://github.com/WatchDogsDev/Test

Here are logs when client profile is private:

PHP Code:

L 07/06/2017 - 20:01:59: [PrivateKicker.smx] HTTP Request has sent for client 1, UserID: 2, Steam2: STEAM_1:1:xxxxxxxx, GameID: 730, URL: xxx

I am the one operating the official DarkServ domains, including darkserv.download, so yes.


Actually, looking a little bit closer:

The Veterans seem to always return at least "||", even on private profiles, which means the body size shouldn't be 0 at all. Since the plugin is kicking if iBodySize == 0, I'm also very tempted to believe that this means that no one will ever be kicked at all, with the plugin at the current state.

That part might need some testing.

Well then thanks for doing this!
I am available to test.

Yep, the stuff I also mentioned in the post above.

Game ID is not required to check profile status, so throw it away.

https://steamapi.darkserv.download/public/

Send steamID64 with the steamID64 to this one, e.g.:

	if(GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_SteamID64, steamId[client], 32))

and

public void SendRequest(int client, char[] steamID64)
{
[...]
	SteamWorks_SetHTTPRequestGetOrPostParameter(hRequest, "steamID64", steamID64);

Private profile:

$ curl -s -D - -o - "https://steamapi.darkserv.download/public/?steamID64=76561197961798171"
HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable

Public profile:

$ curl -s -D - -o - "https://steamapi.darkserv.download/public/?steamID64=76561197961798171"
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted

then the HTTP callback could be like this:

public HTTP_RequestComplete(Handle HTTPRequest, bool bFailure, bool bRequestSuccessful, EHTTPStatusCode eStatusCode, any userid)
{
	int client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);

	PrintToServer("HTTP Request call back =>> client %i, UserID: %i, eStatusCode: %d, bRequestSuccessful: %i", client, userid, eStatusCode, bRequestSuccessful);

	if(bRequestSuccessful)
	{
		if(eStatusCode == k_EHTTPStatusCode202Accepted) {
			/* 202 Accepted	           == Steam Profile is PUBLIC */
			PrintToServer("Yes: %N has a PUBLIC profile.", client);
		}
		else if(eStatusCode == k_EHTTPStatusCode406NotAcceptable) {
		{
			/* 406 Not Acceptable      == Steam Profile is PRIVATE */
			PrintToServer("NO : %N has a PRIVATE profile.", client);
		}
		if(eStatusCode == k_EHTTPStatusCode503ServiceUnavailable) {
			/* 503 Service Unavailable == Steam network is down, or some connectivity issues; try again in a minute or two? */
			PrintToServer("BOO: %N checking failed, please try again later...", client);
		}
	}
}

• A status code of "202 Accepted" means that the Steam ID has a PUBLIC profile.
• A status code of "406 Not Acceptable" means that the Steam ID has a PRIVATE profile.
• Any other codes would normally indicate that there was an error during the lookup.
  And in that case, I suggest you wait a minute or two and then re-try the API call.

Hrmf, somehow, I like the code in post #6 better than the GitHub one.
