Yes; though it's not limited to Javascript, and in the case of www.reversehttp.net, address assignment is also covered (so it's not just for a private server-client link). > I wonder how it would be applicable to jpoker (http://pokersource.eu/) > which is a javascript poker client, currently relying on > setTimeout(poll, 5000) to update the state of the table, any thoughts ? Could be: if you can structure your problem along the lines of HTTP requests to each client, then yes. Other alternatives include Orbited (http://orbited.org/) or using a messaging server like RabbitMQ (http://www.rabbitmq.com/). (Disclosure: I am one of the authors of RabbitMQ.)
