I agree Richard.
I can't imagine this working consistently over my satellite connection to
the web. Certainly not enough for a business-level-app.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Websockets on the IBMi
In the states we still can't truly rely on full time always connected stable
connections. We get full time, mostly connected with a lot of interruptions
if on wireless and or cable connections.
That's why to me the Websockets stuff seems fraught with potential pitfalls
trying to keep a socket connection open over a 90% uptime at best.
Especially when it comes to mobile phones and tablets. Wireless can be
spotty even in well covered areas like Mpls and Chicago. New York and LA.
I like the idea of having an always on connection, but the flexibility of
dropping offline into a tunnel and resuming when I exit the tunnel is one of
the things that makes stateless programming so flexible as well.
No magic answer, but I would be careful when implementing Websockets in a
real-world scenario. Make sure to thing about your worst possible client
connection and program for that.

I am not sure that the whole point of HTTP was stateless programming :) I
think the whole point originally was to deliver static HTML pages to
browsers on slow unreliable connections. Stateless programming evolved from
that point - the point where you could not rely on a steady, reliable and
fast connection between the client and the server.
Actually, with some ISPs in the UK, you still cannot rely on a steady,
reliable and fast connection.... :(

Jon,
I was thinking the very same thing when I was reading the threads :-)
Sounds interesting, but the whole point of HTTP was stateless programming
originally......................
