These days it is very easy to make a very responsive web gui.
"Responsiveness" (the program reacts to user input) is not the problem I
meant to describe but the ability of the program to issue "state"
messages spontaneously.
This is hampered by the missing symmetry of the http protocol: The
client needs to poll for such "reverse" messages.
This can partly be improved by techniques like "comet" that leave a http
protocol open in a somewhat "non-standard" way. But AFAIK, this does
result in certain problems.
I don't know how the QNAP box works on that behalf. But in fact it looks
like doing a great job.
