I have searched all the Ethereal mailing lists as well as Google, and
can't find anything about the existence of a protocol decoder for
Macromedia's AMF (ActionScript Message Format) protocol, which is used
for Flash Remoting communication between Flash-based clients and a
ColdFusion, Java, or .NET server with Flash Remoting components.

I am working on a project using Flash remoting, and often resort to
Ethereal for troubleshooting things, but since AMF is binary (some
sort of binary SOAP-like protocol) it makes it difficult to analyze
AMF packets.

Anyone know of such a decoder?

Please Cc: my gmail address (brian.bothwell@xxxxxxxxx), as I don't sub
to this list.

Thanks,
