While implementing the polling mechanism for a little progress bar widget I started to wonder how one would implement the *push* method using TG. Polling is just fine for my widget yet I can think of widgets where the push method would be more suitable (eg. a multiuser-editor widget).
Instead of bombarding the server with a continues stream of HTTP requests, the clients would make a single request to the server which it puts on hold till some update or time-out signal. AFAIK this isn't currently really feasible with cherrypy because it allocates a thread per request. Since turbogears makes AJAX so easy it would be nice if we had some way to shelf a request till further notice. Any thoughts on this? ps. widgets are *really* cool! some refs: http://tinyurl.com/pos5g http://tinyurl.com/ba88o --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
