That's cute, but the server is actually at getbridge.com, it's not IE6. A browser cannot serve requests. The IE6 client is communicating via getbridge.com, from where the actual connections are being served. There's just some centralized application code in that particular IE6 browser that is controlling the channel logic.
- dshankar 14y agoThis is pointed out explicitly in the section titled "Is this magic?" We never claim "no server." Our goal was to ask the question, what's possible if you can run computational logic in the browser and rely on a physical server purely for message routing (Bridge).
- btown 14y agoYeah, this is no more than a glorified chatbot - and an inefficient one, too, if it's IE6. Although Pusher requires a real server to publish, AFAIK, Pubnub allows clients hosted on static pages to publish just fine. Bridge is just a very nice syntax. But that's OK... if it makes the web more realtime, I'm all for it.
