hi everyone i dont think that it makes any difference in which language (java, python, go) the server is implemented, so i post in this forum and not in the java forum, maybe im wrong, but i hope thats not the case :)
i noticed that my client page, which uses the channel api to get information from the server makes every +-28 seconds a http get request to a google server. okay... so the channel api works via long polling.... wait... didnt the documantation say it works without the use of any polling?! "The Channel API creates a persistent connection between your application and Google servers, allowing your application to send messages to JavaScript clients in real time without the use of polling." first i thought that this would be a backup mechanism for old browser versions which doesnt support html5 sockets. so i updated my firefox to the newest version and it still used long polling.... after a bit of searching around i found that firefox needs extra mozilla websockets instead of websockets.... whatever... so i tried the newest Opera version.... where it also uses long polling... and by the way, why does it need a .js file which is on another server which is probably blocked by most of the company firewalls cause of talkactive being a chat programm? so im kinda curious, is there somewhere an explanation on how the channel api works "under the hood"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
