You can work around the two connection limit by using a sub domain for the communication end point. There are already web/application server, which have direct support for the server push communication model with many open HTTP connections. Jetty is one example for this. As alternative you could use one of the many special purpose HTTP server just for the server push communication and a classical web server for the rest of the application.
With all this set up you will have: 1. Less server load as no unneeded requests are sent 2. Less bandwidth consumption 3. Faster response times Best Fabian > Maybe I'm just having the standard *brain doesn't work so well in the > morning* issue here and not getting it :-) > > Cheers, > -Chris > > >> Also, have a look at the archive: >> http://www.nabble.com/Memory-on-remote.Request-in-the-TIMER-to18736919.html#a18770024 >> >> I actually *do* think it would be worthwhile to have support for >> something like this in qooxdoo.
