Paper: Asynchronous HTTP and Comet architectures

Fri, 03/21/2008 - 08:38 — tray

This JavaWorld article takes a wider view of asynchronous HTTP, explaining its role in developing high-performance HTTP proxies and non-blocking HTTP clients, as well as the long-lived HTTP connections associated with Comet.
