Hi, Socket.io would definetly get your job done but it might be overblown as it requires components on the client as well as on the server-side. I suggest to take a step back and have a look at the general requirements of your application:
- Is a bidirectional realtime-channel required or Is the communication mostly unidirectional from server to client? - what kind of data will be sent? A binary stream or are simple text-messages (e.g. notifcations) good enough? If both questions can be answered with 'yes' I would rather have look at Server-sent events. They are basically just a special form of HTTP-message and can be therefore implemented with every simple http-server without any additional modules. A further reading on Server-sent events with a short tutorial and also links to polyfils for older browsers (no flash required) can be found here: http://html5doctor.com/server-sent-events/ Best regards Andreas Am 03.09.2013 um 17:10 schrieb thron7 <[email protected]>: > > On 09/03/2013 03:08 PM, matteomasina wrote: >> Hi, I'm just developing an application, that uses communication with php >> backend to get some system informations. >> Everything working well, but to get the Qooxdoo fronted update, I'm using a >> timer sending request to the php backend any tot seconds; >> I would like to improve this so I had the idea to use the socket, and to >> fire an update event on qooxdoo frontend, so that application will be >> updated only when there is something new to show. >> >> Have you got any idea where to start to deploy this ?
