# Server Protocol
The protocol is currently in an early stage, and is bound to change.
.
## Establishing a connection
Establish a TCP connection with the server, and send the payload. If the server likes your payload, it will stream data to you, or accept more of your data.
## The payload
Send a UTF-8 string identifying the client's intentions. **Fill the request with trailing spaces until the request is 1000 bytes.**
- `watch,fier,123` - Watch `fier`'s stream, supplying `123` as the watch password (optional). It will blast you with the media data.
- `broadcast,fier,123` - Broadcast as `fier`, supplying `123` as the broadcast password, as configured on the server. May be optional if not set. Just blast the data to the server after this.
