A note though : you'll have to turn off HTTP persistent
connections in your server (not in your proxy) or youre back to
square one.
I hadn't considered that. On the client side it would seem to be up to
the client whether to use a persistent connection or not. If it does,
then yeah, a request every 5 seconds would still just hold open a
server. One more reason to use a proxy I s'pose.
It's clear that this discussion has moved way away from PG! Although
in the context of DB backed web apps I guess in remains a bit
on-topic...
I find it very on-topic as
- it's a way to help this guy solve his "pg problem" which was iin
fact a design problem
- it's the future of database driven web apps (no more reloading
the whole page !)
I think in the future there will be a good bit of presentation
login in the client...
Not if Bruno has his way ;-)
