Communication Protocol used by SP with TCPListener-enabled

[César Bernardini]

Hi!

I have been testing Shibboleth in the last couple of days. I have set up a Service Provider with a TCP Listener. I want to know if there exists documentation regarding the communication between the TCP Listener and a client.

According to what I understood from the protocol is that you are making use of WDDX  for client exchange [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDDX]. But not sure exactly what are the specifications of the communication (i.e. message order, typical commands accepted).

Is there any RFC-like document over there? Or I am forced to go over the source code in order to understand this protocol?
Is there any example in the source code that already interacts with this TCP daemon?

Thanks in advance,
Cesar Bernardini
