Publisher review:cometbox - handle the concurrent connections needed for comet (server to client push) interaction in AJAX applications by queuing and sending messages to client browsers. In short comet is a method using only javascript and the http protocol to allow a server to send data to the client without it being requested.
Traditionally data could only be given to a browser when requested by that browser. This led to frequent polling of the server which causes high requests as well as slow actual response time.
Comet utilizes the XMLHttpRequest to connect to a server side resource that holds the connection open and sends down data as it is received by the server in chunks. This allows for low latency server to client push without resource eating polling.
cometbox is a PHP script for Development Tools scripts design by vbaspcppguy.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / BSD / Solaris.
