> try websockets, if fails, use comet I've seen this statement, or similar, a few times. But, Comet servers use WebSockets. So, WebSockets are not an alternative to Comet. They are a transport technology that is better suited to the Com

I love the technology, I've had a play with building a mini-app in their interactive tutorial, but I really want to see their security model. How is it possible to stop a user opening up the JavaScript console of the web browser and writing

Great idea. Exactly what somebody should have done with HTTP Long-Polling and Streaming (XHR, IFRAME, ActiveX etc.) but without a standardised API it was difficult. The WebSockets API let's us do this.

Realtime web browser technology has been around for over 10 years; HTTP Polling, HTTP Long-Polling, HTTP Streaming and now WebSockets. Connections can only be established between the client and server if various security restrictions and po

The list is on my site (just found the HN thread). How would you like to see the list improved? My plan is better categorisation and improved (or actually add) descriptions.

Yep, SignalR is a self hosted solution and I've added it into that category. Microsoft backed so it'll probably become the core offering for self hosted IIS solutions. I'm interested to see some benchmarking done with it to see how it, and

Most of the sections are brief and the core focus is keywords, although I understand some more information would be beneficial. Since the guide is getting a bit of traffic at the moment I'll try to find some time to update it, add more tech

There are a number of similar services available and this is certainly something that should become commonly used over the next few months and years. Other services are PusherApp, PubNub, Kwwika, Hookbox and WebSync on demand. I'm sure that
