To all of you most exert than me (ie: to everyone) Is it possible to build a php app that performs UNICASTING? Is Push technology a fake push or is it real? I mean: A sw that pushes info to your desktop waits for info coming from a server or just silently, continuously, repetively send requests to the server every, let's say 10 seconds? For instance: ICQ. MESSAGES are sent to user or ICQ client every ten seconds checks for new messages on the server that are destinated to that client? If PUSH is PUSH and not a silent pull, than can it be done something similar to real PUSH with PHP? Anybody have resources or links about BUILDING UNICASTING Apps? TIA Nicola Delbono key5.com
