While investigating this topic, I came across a "new" (somewhat recent) buzzword I'd never heard of : COMET Like AJAX it seems to be an "umbrella word", a concept to designate a mishmash of techniques (including ajax itself) to achieve "http streaming" from server to client with existing tools (ie without webhooks, reversehttp or HTML5-compliant browsers). It includes tricks like "XHR long-polling", "forever frames" etc. This page has a good summary : http://ajaxpatterns.org/Comet Anyone used this kind of stuff with web2py yet, or at least with python ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
