Where did you see that? Wiresharking a liquidsoap running harbor?

In any case, those GET cannot be used to obtain the current metadata
or most information that you'd want to see. For this, use the standard
trick: a on_metadata or on_track handler that refreshes a XML file
with the info (possibly calling an external script which connects to
telnet, probably more convenient) and then load the XML using AJAX in
a HTML page.
