I've put this up here:
  http://dcook.org/software/asunit_socket_server.zip (21K)

It contains both the asunit actionscript patches, and the PHP server. It
is reasonably documented: see the readme.txt, and there is also an
example file.

I've pasted in the motivation section from the readme file in case
you're wondering "why?".

The configuration is ready to go for linux using gflashplayer (i.e.
Flash 6), but it should be easy to configure to work on windows and mac.

MOTIVATION

A way to run actionscript unit tests fully automatically, using only the
commandline, was required, but flash cannot write to the file system or
stdin/stdout. Therefore we use the XML sockets to pass the test results
out of flash to a back-end server.

Another key requirement was it should work on all of linux, windows and mac.

Running tests automatically allows us to release actionscript libraries
with makefiles that have a "make test" option. Other possibilities
include running all project unit tests in an overnight regression test
run. Or forcing tests to be run on a server before allowing a source
control check-in.
