Java library - Privacy Message

[emas80]

Hi, I get many exceptions regarding the privacy flag, thrown by this lines of code

if (profile.hasElement("privacyMessage")) {
throw new SteamCondenserException(profile.getString("privacyMessage"));
}

at line 355 of SteamId.java.

I was wondering if information like steam nickname, steamid 64, vac banned fields are public.
If that's the case, I would suggest to manage the privacy issue in a different way. For example, I just need only the steam nickname and the vac banned value, and the call to the method throw an Exception and I can't use it.

What would you suggest in this case? Is there any other way to get vac banned status and personaname?

Thanks for your report. I'll try to reproduce and fix this ASAP.

Do you have one or more profiles where this error occurs?

Thank you very much. It is not really a bug, looking at the code it seems more like the desired behaviour.

For example steam id 76561198098058712.

Yes, this is currently the desired behaviour.
But maybe version 2 of the library might be a good opportunity to change this. I'm not entirely sure how, but there's room for improvement here.
