This is a very elegant way to handle server-push. It solves a myriad of issues that "true" server-push has. It is more scalable, has better quality of service, etc.

Do note that each client will then tie up an HTTP thread, so you may need to allocate more in your server. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
