Does anyone know any free Socket Servers that do NOT use XML? Ever since as3.0 enabled the use of simple sockets that can send/receive custom data, including binary, I feel dirty and slow using XML...too big of an overhead...
Anyone?

Colin, I took a look at your site and was very impressed.
I will be trying it out soon.
I saw that it is sending messages (in UPC protocol) which are basically XML files.
Is this able to handle sending and receiving of binary files? (e.g. storing a personal avatar image)

Thanks for the bump. I had missed this post about union to. It looks very well designed and the learning paths seems very smooth.
I'll probably give it a shot

I've written a PHP5/AS3 socket server called FlashMOG. By default it uses AMF3 serialization which is binary and fairly compact. I've written a server setup tutorial which explains how to set up a server at rackspace.com (starting at around $11 per month) and a 2-person shooter tutorial. You could probably do both tutorials in an afternoon.
The code is open source under GNU license. Free as in air.
