What is AS2 protocol
The AS2 protocol is based on HTTP. It was the second ASx protocol developed and uses the same signing, encryption and MDN conventions used in the original AS1 protocol. AS2 is the most popular of the ASx protocols but usually requires more work to set up than AS1 or AS3.

AS2 is the only ASx protocol that allows the sender to ask for an "immediate" (synchronous) MDN response.
Disadvantages
Synchronous ("immediate") MDN responses are only appropriate for small files.
AS2 requires firewall configuration and deployment of a designated AS2 server when receiving files.
AS2 messages may be subject to HTTP proxy rules.
AS2 has no standard concept of "username" or "password" when posting files.
