Message Encoding

All AMI messages, including manager events, manager actions, and manager action

responses, are encoded in the same way. The messages are text-based, with lines ter-

minated by a carriage return and a line-feed character. A message is terminated by a

blank line:

Header1: This is the first header<CR><LF>

Header2: This is the second header<CR><LF>

Header3: This is the last header of this message<CR><LF>
