You'd write a bot that logs on the chat gateway as anonymous, does queries, then takes the results of the queries and pass them to a PHP page on your server which updates the statistics on the web.

or you could just make a frame linking to http://ads.battle.net/publicstats

I refuse to put a reference to a domain with "ads" in it.

Even though it's not actually an ad?

or you could just use msinet.ocx on that page, and filter out the image. w00t?

Do you own a domain? Create a CNAME for ads.battle.net (using your DNS server), and put a reference to your CNAME entry instead.

If you don't own a domain or don't control your domain's subdomains (such as what you get from most free domain registrars), you could get someone else to do it for you...
*cough*

Of course, this won't work if their servers actually look at the host field of the HTTP request.

You could, in fact, write a PHP script (or ASP, or whatever) that logs onto Bnet as CHAT and performs whatever queries you need. It might be a bit slow to run in real-time but you could run it periodically and cache the results for display on your page.

or u could do somethin dumb like i did, make an activex control, use it with a php script, itd be a bit faster, but since the user controls it, youd have to keep it open on ur computer to do it, or something i dunno blah. o btw, its at http://www.atomic-inc.net/cb/cbexpress2.html
