Thanks very much, Rob - lots of useful info and valuable food for thought
there.

Hi all
I am developing a business/accounting application. It is not a web server
in
the conventional sense, but it uses http, and clients connect to it via a
web browser. The server responds to an initial connection by sending a
block of javascript which uses on_load() to display a welcome page. After
that, all communication is handled by ajax-style messages passed between
server and client. At no point is a new page requested or reloaded.
Pages are browser constructs :) - I presume you're still speaking
HTTP/1.1, with each request and response JSON - so a typical HTTP API
implementation?
...
Yes
One orthogonal thought here - HTTP/2 and websockets are [differently
but relatedly] aimed at solving this in perhaps a cleaner way.
I knew about web sockets, but not HTTP/2, so thanks for the pointer. I had a
look on Wikipedia and it seems to be the future, so I feel that I should not
try too hard for a perfect solution now, but just get something working and
keep an eye on developments.
Having done a lot more browsing/reading, I am leaning towards figuring out
how to use flup/FastCGI. If I can get that working fairly quickly, it will
allow sysadmins to deploy my app using standard tools, and I can get back to
my main priority - the actual accountiing software.
Let me know if you think that is a bad idea!
Frank
