Hi,
I'd like to do a small web application where the server should be able to push data to notify the browsers with the shortest possible delays. Thus I thought about long polling. As I never used this technology I am not sure about the load such an implementation would put on the server host and whether I could use mod_wsgi for such an appliation My setup / intended application. - the web server has only port 443 (https) as incoming port -- a max of about 100 web browsers might be connected at the same time - server should be able to notify clients with a the very short delay - The application would be chat like. If one web browser sends some given data to the server some other users should have their browser react immediately. - apart from this the server would also contain other wsgi applications I am new to this technology and have therefore some questions. - I assume, that for long polling all the connections would stay alive for all the time. Is the memory consumption with apache / mod_wsgi for 100 simultaneous connections a major problem or is it neglectible? Would there be any mod_wsgi parameters, which I could to tweak for such an application? Would I gain a lot by not using mod_wsgi for long polling, but other apache modules? Are there any other suggestions how to setup such a server in a way, that it doesn't waste too many resources? Thanks in advance for any ideas links, recommendations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "modwsgi" group.
