RE: IBM announces new language environment - Node.js for i

SignalR takes care of this for you. We have been using websockets with SignalR and ASP .NET and IIS for over a year now in one of our programs that required realtime progress bar updates for very long running querys.

Obviously there are many, many more cool uses for this, but SignalR and the ASP .NET tooling for it makes it a couple line affair to setup to make the server (IIS) and browser (running SignalR) to communicate bi-directionally.

Very cool stuff.

Bidirectional... sounds cool, but also a possible logistical nightmare keeping everything in sync. :)

WebSocket support in Apache is done via a mod (module):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_wstunnel.html

As far as I know that mod isn't included with the IBMi Apache v2.4 port.
