Hi all, I had a question about implementing hanging-gets. A hanging get is basically when the server "hangs" onto the http request until either a certain period of time or until there is an event is triggered. It is a hack for implementing event driven messaging on top of HTTP.
Alex Russell references it in his blog: http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/?p=545 What's the best way to implement hanging-gets using twisted? I have a web page that I want to immediately update everytime there is a change to the data. Making asynchronous javascript requests every second do not really make sense, but I was thinking that if the javascript continually made asynchronous requests to the server and the server implemented hanging-gets, then that would be a good solution. Any thoughts are appreciated. Cheers, Joe _______________________________________________ Twisted-web mailing list [email protected] http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-web
