The description of the "Message Syntax" in the man-page is what you need to know. Hobbit uses plain TCP, and data being transferred is plain text. I.e.
- connect to tcp port 1984
- send "status www,foo,com.mytest green"
- close the connection

Henrik,
I'm talking about the connection protocol, not the message protocol. So that I can write code that can connect to a BBDISPLAY and send/receive data, without shelling out and using a bb binary. I've tried telnetting to port 1984 and typing various commands, and also using netcat, none of which seem to work, so I suspect that hobbitd is expecting to see some certain characters before it will accept a command.

Speaking of such, is the protocol for the bb command published anywhere?
See the bb(1) man-page.
