Dirkjan Ochtman commented on COUCHDB-841:
-----------------------------------------
I should note here, I asked Bob Ippolito (the main author of mochiweb, which is
used for CouchDB's http layer) if/when mochiweb growed WebSocket support. He
mentioned that someone on github has implemented it, but he will hold off from
merging it until someone explicitly asks him to work on that (since he doesn't
need WebSocket for his own use cases).
As for "final spec", I'm not sure there'll be something like a version 1.0, but
there'll be a working draft or something that has reached consensus and is
implemented in the same way in several different browsers (likely Gecko and
Webkit).
> Support WebSockets in continuous changes feeds

> Key: COUCHDB-841
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-841
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Dirkjan Ochtman
>
> Just wanted to put this on the roadmap: it would be nice if continuous
> changes feeds (and maybe some other things in CouchDB, not sure) could
> support WebSockets. WebSockets are an emerging standard (there's no final
> spec yet) with implementations in both recent Chrome and Firefox (beta)
> releases that allows servers to push information to the browser without
> having to do polling (or longpolling).
