I'm working on a "comet" server. Hence the somewhat unusual way of dealing with connections/streams.
That sounds interesting. How is it going?
Hi, It's progressing well and getting it to scale better is soon on the top of things to do.
How does what you're doing compare to what has been done here:
Yeah, that's what I need this for. I've currently implemented Comet in that thing by setting the request/response thread to sleep (wait-condition), and it works great; but it will not scale because there is a limit to the amount of threads a server can have hanging around like that.
..so again that's why I need a "threadless" socket/stream from HT.. :)
Anyway, please keep us updated on this list. I'm sure there are a bunch of us who are interested.
Ok. Yeah, maybe a Comet module for HT would be of interest. I really hate promising things, but I might give it a try; I mean, attempt make it modularized and not hardwired into SymbolicWeb .... x)
