MSN Block Checker

[CoePSX]

This little script lets you pick an MSN contact list file (.ctt), and check

for your contacts status.

It fills a Listview with the contact address and status.

It uses the Triople online server, that return an image as a result.

Downloading the image would be too slow, so the script just checks it's

size. Don't expect too much speed from it though.

It's very simple (anyone can understand it). Well... hope you enjoy it.

Turns off PC and goes to bed!

only works if the person has "Only people on my allow list can see my status and send me messages" (In the privacy tab in options) NOT checked.. its checked by defualt and just abuot no one has it un checked.. so its a nice tool (very slow tho) but it wont work for the majority of ppl.. well done though

There is a loophole in the MSN messenger protocol that you could use. The "official" unofficial documentation says this:

Error 217 from the Switchboard server will be sent if your contact is offine.

Error 216 from the Switchboard server will be sent if your contact is online and is blocking you.

Never bothered to implement this block-checker though...
