I've found polling much simpler to implement (and test) as it doesn't require anything particularly special on either client or server-side. It means a bit more delay - the polling period - before the user gets the result, but for our use-case (generating reports and download files) this hasn't been an issue. I've seen some stuff suggesting that polling leads to higher server load, but again it hasn't been an issue in our low-traffic web-apps. - Chris _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
