A comet server I work with still supports foreverframe for browsers without websockets or multipart-replace because for fast updating data, it's actually much more performant than long polling.
- kragen 14y agoSure, it performs better, but apparently there are a lot of network environments where long polling works and forever-frame doesn't.
- kybernetikos 14y agoTrue. That's why polling is also supported as a fallback. Although with fast updating data, there's practically no difference between long polling and simple polling.
