Subject: Emulating http server-push to Internet Explorer browsers

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody on the list has ever managed to do this, using
CF, or any other technologies for that matter. I know that apache has
server-push available to it, but my research shows that it only works for
Netscape/Mozilla browsers and that IE simply does not support it.

The reason I want it is for pushing various event notifications to users on
our systems e.g. calendar reminders, incoming telephone call notices, etc.
Currently I've just bodged up the mechanism with a hidden frame which
refreshes periodically and polls the db for new entries and pops up relevant
notification windows where appropriate. This method is proving rather
expensive, however in terms of both http and db activity.

The only thing tat springs to mind with me at this stage is some kind of
java servlet, but am not having much luck in finding anything suitable via
google. Has anyone got something which may work for this?

TIA,
Dave
