Just small point, but simply telneting to a port doesn't tell you whether
you really have a connection to that machine. Many corps have
port-forwarding on 80 into a Proxy, to save having to do client
configuration. What you'd need to test is whether you can do anything other
than an HTTP request on that port.

I personally don't see a problem in HTTP polling, nor feel it's that
complicated to implement.
