I am thinking of using Comet for the Guruza chat interface. Currently we just xhr poll. However, I noticed that Coment does not work with all browsers.
I would like to know if a viable alternative would be to have the client make an XHR, but do not send the result on the server side until there is data to send.
When there is data to send, the response is sent and the connection is closed. The client then makes another XHR to wait for additional data.
I would like someone to please discuss this approach with me.
