public class GetUTXOsMessage extends Message

This command is supported only by Bitcoin XT nodes, which advertise themselves using the second service bit flag. It requests a query of the UTXO set keyed by a set of outpoints (i.e. tx hash and output index). The result contains a bitmap of spentness flags, and the contents of the associated outputs if they were found. The results aren't authenticated by anything, so the peer could lie, or a man in the middle could swap out its answer for something else. Please consult BIP 65 for more information on this message.

Note that this message does not let you query the UTXO set by address, script or any other criteria. The reason is that Bitcoin nodes don't calculate the necessary database indexes to answer such queries, to save space and time. If you want to look up unspent outputs by address, you can either query a block explorer site, or you can use the FullPrunedBlockChain class to build the required indexes yourself. Bear in that it will be quite slow and disk intensive to do that!
