Ok, I've never worked with Orbited. But I looked at the site, through the examples, and through the documentation, and I see nothing about being able to use WebSockets on, say, IE7 or Safari.
Orbited looks like an event-driven webserver, which is nice and all, but it doesn't magically give WebSocket functionality to legacy browsers.
- daleharvey 17y agoit doesnt magically give you websocket functionality, it lets you use the websocket api, then handles any fallback if thats needed.
- jacobolus 17y agoOrbited functions as a proxy which lets you use a raw socket on your server end to communicate through the black-box Orbited in the middle to a JavaScript API that looks roughly like the WebSocket API. So as far as you as a developer are concerned, the code you have to write is about the same as if you were using WebSocket directly.
