Thanks for this. Looks a very interesting article, and exactly what I'm
looking for.
Thanks Leon for your reply too. I do already make use of JS and
XMLHttpRequest in my pages but they are all driven by the client / JS code.
The new project will see 20+ users all managing a jobs list status page.
Rather than have all 20+ browsers poll the server every n seconds, I want a
method where if one user updates a job status it updates the server, and the
server then kicks the other clients into pulling the update.
The websockets above may well be the answer I need.
