How would one implement long polling in a Nim web server? Basically I would
like to collect requests in a list and, when some event occurs, return all at
once.
Non working pseudo code; return all when a client sends the message
"shouldReturn":
import asynchttpserver, asyncdispatch
var server = newAsyncHttpServer()
var requests:seq[Request]
proc returnAll() =
for req in requests:
await req.respond(Http200, "Hello World\n")
requests.clear()
proc cb(req: Request) {.async.} =
requests.add(req)
if(req.body == "shouldReturn")
returnAll()
waitFor server.serve(Port(8080), cb)
Run
