This isn't quite accurate. Studio sends an HTTP request to the web server,
not the CF server. The API stub provided by CF then redirects that request
to the RDS service instead of to the CF service. There's no DCOM at work
here, as far as the communication between Studio and RDS. It's all through
the web server. You can use a recording proxy to show you the data passed
between Studio and the web server.
This has some interesting fallout. First, you can easily encrypt RDS through
SSL by only allowing access to ide.cfm through SSL. Second, and more
interesting, is that RDS needn't be product-specific. For example, JRun
provides an RDS interface, allowing you to edit JSP source files through CF
Studio.
