[google-appengine] Channel API Sockets - Uni-Directional or Bi-Directional?
Question 1: Is this the correct forum to ask question about Channel API (which I am intending to use in conjunction with Google App Engine). Question 2: In the documentation for the Channel API it says: The JavaScript client opens a socket using the token provided by the server. It uses the socket to listen for updates on the channel. However communication from the client to the server seems to be in the form of a POST. Are Channel API sockets truly uni-directional server-to-client? Or is there a way for the client to communicate back via web socket? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

The client-to-server uses POST requests back to the server. Robert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
