RE: [flexcoders] HTTP (or socket) Client and Server in Flex UI

[Ted Patrick]

You can run a socket server over port 80 or many common open ports. Plus another thing to keep in mind is that with Flash Player, connections are initialized from behind the firewall out to the Internet. Reusing common ports is the simplest answer.   Actually using Python Twisted we have been able to make servers that support HTTP, Binary Sockets, and XMLSocket over the same port. Basically you call the server to get the SWF over HTTP on port 80, then make a socket connection back to the same port using XMLSocket or flash.net.Socket. It works like a charm.   Cynergy Systems, Inc.
