public class XMLSocket
extends Object
The XMLSocket class implements client sockets that let the computer running Flash Player
communicate with a server computer identified by an IP address or domain name. The
XMLSocket class is useful for client-server applications that require low latency, such as real-
time chat systems. A traditional HTTP-based chat solution frequently polls the server and
downloads new messages using an HTTP request. In contrast, an XMLSocket chat solution
maintains an open connection to the server, which lets the server immediately send incoming
messages without a request from the client. To use the XMLSocket class, the server computer
must run a daemon that understands the protocol used by the XMLSocket class. The protocol
is described in the following list:
XML messages are sent over a full-duplex TCP/IP stream socket connection.
Each XML message is a complete XML document, terminated by a zero (0) byte.
An unlimited number of XML messages can be sent and received over a single
XMLSocket connection.
