This is not the "Test Anything Protocol", but rather the "Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol".

I was told by a vendor that there is an IP address and port available to send a "TAP message" to.

However, the vendor provided no other documentation on how to format these messages, and simply has insisted over and over again that this is enough information. Just "send a TAP message to the IP port"....

Can someone provide any ideas on what this might mean and what the formatting of this message might look like? Not sure if it's XML/ASCII/BINARY, run over HTTP(S) or what.

Thanks!
