[ENet-discuss] Questioning a server without connecting to it

[Emmanuel Rivoire]

Hello,

because without this, it'd require at least 2 back & forth instead of 
just 1 to get the needed info, + maybe some local extra processing 
for the peer creation/destruction, so it'd be less efficient & 
slower, which can be problematic in case there's a lot of online servers.
Plus, in case the server is full, I don't know how react the server 
to a peer connection request. If it just times out, it's too slow to 
get the result, and I can't grab the status info.
