In fact I do what Dimitry explained.

I didn't want the client to poll the server in any way ...

So what I did is the server sends the client the message window in an ifram
and the browser starts rendering it ...
if you type in a message it gets processed by the chat server and sent out
to the message window... the client just notices that there is new data to
read from this socket and reads it and displays the new data ... so the
typed in message is displayed ...

thats what I understand under the term "live" or "application" server ...
not a server which serves out a site ...then closes connection and
gets a request (properly with data from the previous request so you have a
reference) again


greets,
Bernhard
