Sorry for interrupting your discussion, but I've a proposal: http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/
<http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/>I think that EventSource is a better way for streaming continuous changes, b/c it's read only and naturally support "since" argument (http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/#last-event-id ). Actually, I's implemented EventSource some time ago, see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-986 On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 2:21 AM, Dirkjan Ochtman (JIRA) <[email protected]>wrote: > > [ > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-841?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13006618#comment-13006618] > > Dirkjan Ochtman commented on COUCHDB-841: > ----------------------------------------- > > I agree that the time to do this probably hasn't exactly arrived yet; it > would make more sense to wait until the protocol has been finalized.
