Getting info remotely on FL servers

Hello! youve probably all heard of All Seeing Eye.. the wonderful little program that scans servers remotely so you do not have to go into the game and go through the rigmorale of loading the game and then clicking on the refresh server button just to bring up the server you want to see if your friend happens to be online..

Unfortunatly FL is not supported by All Seeing Eye.. But i have seen a Javascript in a Freelancer forum that monitors the server and tells howmany people are online..

What im after is how do i do that??! i would like to be able to monitor my favorite server remotely so i can see when my friends come online and the ping to that server to see if its worth going online and playing.. Could you please help me! i do have a little coding knowlage so i could create a basic javascript if need be.. but if somebody could provide me with a script that say... once i enter the IP address of my server it would just bring up the revalent details.. exactly lilke what Allseeing eye does when you refresh a server.. Could somebody please help me here.

Thankyou

Why not just convince your favorite server's admin to post continuous updates of who is on? There are a couple of programs out there that can do this (IFSO and FLAC). Even FLStats is being initiated server-side. To get the info you want from the outside would take emulating a player logging in and looking at the chat list. Good luck with that, I've never heard of anything doing that in FL (yet).
