[hunchentoot-devel] Full-duplex socket connections in Hunchentoot

[Wouter Van den Broeck]

Hello,

I'm considering using Hunchentoot as a server for client applications  
that connect with the server over full-duplex http socket connections  
(such as Flash applications using XMLSocket). The general idea is  
that the server can send messages to the client at its own initiative  
and not only as a reply to a request.

Having looked at the documentation and some aspects of the code, I  
gather that there is no such functionality by default, but that it  
should not be too difficult to integrate in Hunchentoot.

If possible could you please roughly outline what you would consider  
to be a 'good' approach to attain this objective such that it would  
nicely fit in the existing design philosophy?


Thanks in advance

regards

Wouter Van den Broeck
