Hello,

I've checked case i) and it seems it doesn't exist.
However, I've made a small patch which adds a get_version() LUA function to WS.
If this patch (based on rev 32034) will be committed then you'll able to use it and read out the version string.

Bug 4699 - WSLUA new function to retrieve WS version

Regards,
Tamas
