Hello,
I'm considering using Hunchentoot as a server for client applications that connect with the server over full-duplex http socket connections (such as Flash applications using XMLSocket). The general idea is that the server can send messages to the client at its own initiative and not only as a reply to a request.
Having looked at the documentation and some aspects of the code, I gather that there is no such functionality by default, but that it should not be too difficult to integrate in Hunchentoot.
If possible could you please roughly outline what you would consider to be a 'good' approach to attain this objective such that it would nicely fit in the existing design philosophy?
According to this documentation: http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/ac... XMLSocket is not a HTTP based protocol. So instead using Hunchentoot , you should consider writing your own socket server. XMLSocket protocol is quite simple, it should be hard.
