I thought I'd include protocol password support, but Emptool doesn't have any of the code for doing heartbeats and initialize ... I was wondering roughly how this works. I see that the response sends back a cookie. What is the relationship between that cookie and the rest of the protocol? I'm guessing that I:

1) start the connection
2) send an initialize request
3) get an initialize response with a cookie
4) send that cookie periodically with a heartbeat to confirm that it's still me connecting

I didn't see anywhere else to include the cookie in the protocol, so I assume it must be something similar to that.

Can Rio people confirm or deny? Are Rio people even still alive? If jEmplode fell in a forrest and there are no Rio people around, would they hear it?
