Seems to me that this is a pretty common use case though with AJAX server side push: request, wait, response. Comet is used to free the http thread while waiting, otherwise the server would be out of http threads in no time. The data posted is often in POST form (a scripted form post).
This is not very useful: threads are fairly cheap, and having all the plumbing to keep all the request data in memory and ready to use asynchronously is not exactly free (it makes the complexity an order of magnitude higher, also). If all you want to do is wait a while and still support 1000s of connections, then you should consider using threads and buying an extra 1GB of ram on the server, it might be a better deal.
