cometlong-pollingreverse-ajax

Does facebook use comet or long polling for getting new stream and messages?

I would like to know if there are any code references that I can follow to write a very simple example. Many posts or websites just talk about the technology.

Solution

  • Yes "it's a variation of Comet, specifically XHR long polling, and/or BOSH."
