John, Not sure I understand what you are saying, would you be able to provide me with a high level overview of what you are thinking?
Our Server will be performing analytics' and at some point it will trap on a condition that needs to be communicated to the shop floor. For example, a machine has been idle for more than 5 minutes. When this event is flagged, the server needs to tell the browser on the floor, associated with this machine, to take a specific action. Basically the browser will need to present a different window for the operator to respond into. So I'm just trying to understand how the HTTP idea you presented would work in this situation...
