neutrino38 writes "Adobe released the specification of the AMF format. This was the format used by Flash Remoting, the equivalent of AJAX for the Flash world.

The article did not refer to the AMFPHP project and the fact that some German and Canadian guys already reverse engineered the format a long time ago. This disclosure will also remove a long standing legal uncertainty that prevented to use AMFPHP for commercial projects too openly.

Secondly, we need to note that Adobe does not document its RTMP protocol used to contact Flash Media server. This later protocol is more iteresting in terms of possibilities as it provides:
  • Sessionful operation
  • Media streaming
  • Remote procedure call both client side and server side using AMF format
  • Shared objects between several sessions and server side events


Fortunately, this protocol has partially been reverse engineered by people of the red5 project. I would suggest that the W3C should take a look at the whole Flash ecosystem if they think about upgrading the HTTP protocol."
