Actually, there's a combination of HTTP and DCOM going on. Basically:
1. Studio sends an HTTP request (default port 80) to the CF server. I'm not
sure if the DCOM connects at this point.
2. The server gets the message and the 'operation' url variables. i.e. what
it should do.
3. ?? If DCOM has not been connected at point 1, then there's a DCOM
connection run that communicates info from studio to server and back.
Aaron, Raymond and myself did a lot of hacking on this trying to find a way
of running rds to the server through CF rather than through studio. These
are the basic results.
I expect the DCOM works on port 80 as well, which is the reason for the http
call in the first place.
As a side note, there's no KB article on using studio through a firewall, so
I'm expecting port 80 to be the only thing needed.
