Hello! I've been asked to develop a chat application using CF and Flash. I recently finished a front-end to a project with a proprietary backend that was similar but I don't have access to it, and don't know what server tech. they were using. Basically, the chat client would send an http request to the server and the server would hold onto that request until new messages were available (or the request timed out... about 60 seconds) before it responded. At that time, I'd simply make a new request, where the process would repeat itself. They told me this process is referred to as "long polling" or "comet". I searched a bit yesterday but couldn't find anything related to CF. Can anyone confirm that this is possible in CF, and perhaps post a code example?
