Introduction
QRY is a command introduced with MSNP6.
It is a Notification Server command, WITH a request payload but without a response payload.
Responds to a challenge request (CHL command).
Client/Request
QRY TrID public-key length
payload
Where public-key is your client's Public Key.
Where length is the size (in bytes) of the payload.
Where payload is the challenge response.
Challenge responses
Calculating the challenge response depends on the version of the protocol you are using.
Basic responses
Simply MD5 hash the challenge and your client's Private Key concatenated together as a string.
The output should be 32 bytes and lowercase hexadecimal.
Advanced responses
Since MSNP11.
Since this is more advanced of an algorithm, it will be avaliable as annotated source code in the Miscellaneous Files sectiom.
TODO: Write said annotated source code.
The output should be 32 bytes and lowercase hexadecimal.
Server/Response

Examples
Successful response
S: CHL 12345678901234567890
C: QRY 1 msmsgs@msnmsgr.com 32

S: QRY 1
Failed challenge
NOTE: This happens as-is in MSNP11, since it isn't using the new method.
S: CHL 12345678901234567890
C: QRY 2 msmsgs@msnmsgr.com 32

Known changes
- MSNP11: Changed challenge response generation algorithm drastically.
