It looks to me like it might well be simpler and more efficient for me to make my own protocol for use the application I'm trying to write than to learn to rules of another type of protcol that wasn't made for what I want to use it for. However, I really have no idea how I might go about this sort of thing just yet. I have a few idea written down concerning the syntax of the bits involved, but I'm afraid it might interreact and/or crosspolinate with another protocol that a user who's connected to the internet might be using. The program is going to be client-server based, with an emphasis on the minimum amount of data being sent across the 'Net. I won't need to worry about the security of the protocol itself or the data that's passed through it, and I plan to use something like SHTML for logins.
Would anyone know where I might look to find information about existing protocols, how to make my own protocol, or how the connection is made between the client and server programs?
