Introducing nComet
Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 12:40AM
nComet is a .NET implementation of the Comet (reverse-AJAX push) architecture. This server-side pipeline uses long-lived client-initiated HTTP connections to push messages to the client. Once the client receives a response, it immediately opens another HTTP request, which the server holds until a message is ready. This architecture allows the server to push dynamic html/xml/json/etc to the browser, rather than the browser polling the server.
This project focuses on the .NET server-side architecture, initially providing a HttpListener implementation (for a custom host communicating with HTTP.SYS directly) and may eventually provide a ASP.NET implementation as well. The library will simplify the implementation of common message patterns such as pushing latest data as well as sync. Example code for multiple client-side javascript implementations will also be provided.
