[JDEV] Flash?

[dlb]

I've investigated developing a TCL "socket interchange" for this purpose.
>From my understanding of the problem it shouldn't be too difficult to create
a component which will intermediate communication between Flash and Jabber -
parse their respective streams - and translate each protocol accordingly.
The component would need to perform certain basic session management duties
as well .

The fundamental problem seems to arise from the fact that Flash5 uses a null
terminator to delimit XML packets. This will kill the session on the jabber
side.  The component would need to read XML packets deriving from jabber and
append a null byte.  Streams originating from the flash client would need to
have the null byte removed.

is this accurate Oliver ? - you're more familiar with this area than I am.

it should be possible to modify elements of the tclhttpd server for this
purpose. This can be configured for either multithreading or standard TCL
file I/O and , according to my own use and the benchmarks I've seen, is very
robust.

would it be appropriate to implement this as a form of transport ? - a
server module - or a standalone server ?
