AS2 primer?

      Does anyone know of a good source (book, blog, white paper, etc.) that clearly explains how to setup BizTalk 2006 R2 to send and receive non-EDI AS2 messages?  I’ve found the TechNet stuff, but frankly I’m a little less than impressed with that information.  There is no discussion of reserve proxys, security, encryption, decryption, compression and all the other fun stuff that goes along with AS2.  The “tutorial” that comes with R2 is fine and all – but very lacking in real-world use. 

      I’m currently in the process of taking the tutorial’s “AS2Sender” console application code and putting a winforms face on it that will allow me to select a file, specify the AS2-To and AS2-From as well as a lot of the other header values… and fire it off to my testing webserver reverse proxy.  Once that’s done, if anyone would like the code, feel free to let me know.  I can be reached here: mscott[at]k2b[dot]net

      No replies? What a shocker (grin).  I’m finding this to be typical within the BizTalk community… not a lot of help on specific topics such as AS2.  I wish we had a site like http://www.asp.net for BizTalk.

        What about starting a simple community site, or at least a Wiki?  So far, Stephen’s blogs and forum seem to be some of the best information available.   A few years back, Alan Smith compiled good blogs and created “The Blogger’s Guide to BizTalk”. 

        What does ASP.NET have that we need?  (I assume it’s funded by Microsoft?) 

        Also, there’s like a billion .NET programmers (no offense), and only a few thousand BizTalk developers (okay, these are wild estimates). 

        I’m been using PHP-Fusion a lot, but would like to learn more about Joomla, and wouldn’t mind throwing together a Joomla site (I know, it’s not Microsoft, but it’s free).  I got burned on Dot Net Nuke once, so I’m staying clear of it for now.  Stephen – what do you think?  Contact me if you want…
