yep. I think you'd be better off with http pipelining and iframe or ajax based solution. At least that's transparent in terms of existing protocols. Of course

yep. I think you'd be better off with http pipelining and iframe or ajax based solution. At least that's transparent in terms of existing protocols. Of course there's a lot more server-side and client-side work going on to support facebook's implementation here. They've essentially invented some crazy way of packaging multiple requests together but hiding that inside a broken html document. If server push is the destination they I might have thought that websockets was a cleaner way of achieving it. I don't think server-push is the destination though in this case.
