Talk:Comet (programming)/Archive 2

This seems to be a very cool technology, I have done some Googling and added some (I hope) useful links --Kompere 17:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Someone ask for permission to post an image of the COMET architecture!! Please! Let's not break any wikipedia rules!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MezZzeR (talk • contribs) 01:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

Same-origin issues

"This is often worked around by creating a distinct hostname for push connections (even with a single physical server)."

Does anyone have a source for this statement? It seems to me that same origin security restrictions would prevent this? Or do these applications specifically use Flash to bypass those restrictions?161.184.173.81 21:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Comet is nothing new

comet is nothing new, look here: http://web.archive.org/web/20000305201134/http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wolf-http-select-00.txt

yes in the sense that netscape's server-push already provided that in 1995 essentially, and no in the sense that the draft you suggest requires browsers to use methods they don't implement, and thus this draft is just an idea out of dozens of similar ideas long before. just look through the papers presented at early WWW conferences of the W3C --lynX

This might not be the best term to user for server-push since there is a programming language called Comet.
