Well, I had better scale back my goals here and just try and get the swf persistent connection loader working again.
Given what I read in that article, it sounds like IE is the weakest link as usual. They refer to a bug where IE
doesn't let you see the incoming data until the server has closed the connection. If that were true, then I guess
the server could drop the connection when it had a message, and then the client immediately reopens it when
it detects it has dropped. I am guessing that is how people make these things work in IE, I will have to take
a look using that Fiddler tool and see if I can tell.
This is really where the DHTML compatibility will be useful, if we can use one or more of these existing AJAX streaming libraries...

Hi Henry,
Here's the best information I know of on this:

There are a lot of gotchas!
