Web Client for Steam Chat - Developers

So basically, I need a web client for chatting via Steam Friends. Do you guys know of any? If there is none, I'll have to create my own. If I could, I'd use VNC but the port is blocked so I [b]have[/b] to create a web client for it unless I want to use a VPN (which I don't). Can I have a few pointers on how to do this? Is it even possible? My desktop computer can be running 24/7 to act as a gateway for the web client. The web client is only going to be used by me, so that's not a problem. I want to use PHP, HTML and JavaScript. PHP can be replaced by pretty much almost serverside-language, but PHP is preferable.

It is possible and has not been done yet AFAIK. There's a opensteamworks library for C# if I recall. From there you'd have to create a webserver of sorts that handles it all.

AFAIK there's currently no other option besides the closed-source pocketSteam. You can write your own implementation using the unofficial C# api, but the whole thing is a major gamble - using the library steps on a gray area with steam, and there should be no expectation that it won't break at any moment due to an undocumented internal change, which Valve would not have any obligation or will to answer for.

[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;32038216]Y u no login wit steam?!?!?!?!?!?![/QUOTE] Steam OpenID doesn't work for this, you need to fully emulate a connected user to get access to chat; there is no official API for this purpose.
