Getting server status from Q3 Engine

[stevomitric]

Hello there!

I'm trying to comunicate with a Call of Duty 2 server ( based on Quake 3 Enigine ), to send some data to it and get some in return.
So ( using Python - sockets) i was able to send data to the server but i cant get any back. Here is the script i'm curently using.

import socket # Importing module
# Creating socket File
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,  # Internet
socket.SOCK_DGRAM) # UDP connection
sock.connect(('master3.idsoftware.com', 27950)) # Connectiong to cod2 UDP server 
sock.sendto('\xff\xff\xff\xffgetstatus',('80.241.208.55', 28960)) # Server i whoud like to inspect
data, addr = sock.recvfrom(7000) # Waiting for Replay.
print "received message:", str(data), addr # Printing out the resoult

My source was from guy named Aluigi (aluigi.org) : http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/q3info.txt

The reason i uploaded this here and not on Python forum is becouze this code works but servers are broke. i saw:

When we go on the multiplayer option, our client will start to search
servers on LAN, Mplayer, Internet and Favourites.

- LAN: 255.255.255.255
port: 27960, 27961, 27962, 27963
- Mplayer: 60.242.0.0
port: 27950
- Internet: 60.242.0.0 or master3.idsoftware.com
port: 27950

that he wrote. and servers do connect but i'm not getting any data in return.

any sugestions ?
