bi-directional communication between server-client

[maxpetruk]

Hello developers)

 

May be somebody has experience how to implement bi-directional communications between client and server to achieve real time data updates on client?

It available a lot of libraries for different platforms that provide some hack of HTTP (because it one way communication) - Comet, reverse ajax, long polling.

WebSocket is most modern technic that probably provide real asynchronous communication.

And even some components end examples available for delphi:

 

• http://www.esegece.com/websockets/#wsdownload

• http://code.google.com/p/delphiws/

• http://asmprofiler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/-Other-/IndyWebsocketDemo/

 

My question is how to implement it with UniGui? What is the most simple way?

 

Additional info:

 

We use middleware DataSnap server . Communication with ISAPI via TwebConnection transport.

I'm very interesting in this too.

Long time ago, but here is a sample.

So in summary, is it possible to combine WebSockets and uniGUI? I believe this question remains unanswered, and I cannot find any comment on this in the forum. Farshad? Anyone?
