Protocol idea: Minecraft Dynmap chat poller

[AnrDaemon]

The structure of the chat is fairly simple.
You poll "<baseurl>/up/world/world/<timestamp>" for updates and obtain a JSON encoded result.
The interesting parts of it is "timestamp", which you should use to get the next update, and array "updates", the events that have "type" = "chat".
The protocol supports sending messages as well as optional authentification.

  Now, I though I was just throwing ideas to the wind. Totally did not expect an answer, thank you! I'll check it in a day or two, when I get to my -NG install.
Is there a source available somewhere, too?

[Robyer]

AnrDaemon, I wasn't expecting implementing it either, but luckily I've got in mood

Sources are now in svn repository, and it was added to solutions and nighly builds too.

EDIT: Plugin is available officially for download from here: 32-bit / 64-bit or via Plugin Updater.

Works on a basic level Thank you.
However, sending messages is a bit iffy. The sender name appears as a question mark in chat.

AnrDaemon,
I'm showing name what came from server. When I was testing it on one server, I've got my ip address as a name - correctly.
Could you give me your server IP so I can test it?

[AnrDaemon]

I mean my name when I send messages through plugin
It show up at server side borked.
Anyway, it is not any priority, and I'm grateful for this plugin as it is.
I'll install a test server myself and we could get to the more productive debugging later.

Your name in Miranda chat window or your name on server?
In Miranda chat window is showed name as it is readed from server (for received and also for send messages).
