If your client receives a property request that it does not wish to answer, it can openly refuse to answer the request by sending a TX_PROP_DENIED message to the requesting client. This tells the requesting client that you received the query but are unwilling to answer it.
The format for a TX_PROP_DENIED message is:
TX_PROP_DENIED tag address property
where
| tag | is a unique label for this message; |
| address | is the address of the requesting client; and |
| property | is an envelop whose data field names the property that was queried. |
Sending this message will cause the other client to receive an RX_PROP_DENIED message.
