Question about using the NSCA addon

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi Matt,

Sorry to let you know your a bit off,

If you review the Source code of NSCA or NRPE
it is NOT expecting a string,
it is expecting a particular formated byte array.
where the begining of the Array is tested for Version# and Timestamps
validation before event thinking about data.

It is quickest to use an existing NSCA clients with NSCA,
I wrote a NSCA Client in C# and it took a lot longer than a day to get it
working.
