The problem with this type of RESTful integration though is the connection limit imposed by browsers. Of course, long poll has the identical problem. You can't long poll more than a couple endpoints.
- jkarneges 11y agoTrue, you can use URI paths with WebSockets which at least makes the streams resource-oriented. CBIX does it: https://www.cbix.ca/api-websocket https://www.cbix.ca/api-websocket I think calling this RESTful is a bit of a stretch though, at least in any conventional sense of what that means to people.
