Hi Stefan,

I''d recommend not trying to use a custom protocol but rather just use an existing one such as http, ftp or sftp unless there is some specific capability that nothing existing can provide.

If you need to do this then there is no specific technology that we have for general purpose custom protocol handling. It is easy to create a custom transport in NetKernel (i.e. a component that can receive events from outside and inject them into the address space of an application) however the technology to implement that tcp protocol transport will need to be found elsewhere - I would suggest looking at Java JDK classes or something like Etch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etch_(protocol)

Cheers, Tony
