Theoretically HTTP should be able to support unlimited streaming either way: you should be able to open a request and stream data indefinitely.
Sure, but practically speaking you need ways of distinguishing useful cases from error cases. (Thus, for example, the use of multipart/mixed for server-to-client streams.) Another issue, for transfers that take a long time, is that you eventually need a mechanism to restart a long transfer where you left off (rather than at the begining). Anyways, I imagine the people who are throwing around large chunks of video have something useful in these areas, but I would also imagine that using a sequence of requests might turn out to be a good idea. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
