The Gateway does use http 1.1 persistent connections.

However I don't think a push to each connected client would better performance wise - from the Gateway point of view.

Thanks for the explanations. I wont take it into account in performance benchmarks. I do think that you should the explore the possibility to use persistent HTTP connection and server PUSH. It's a lot more efficient client side :)]]> Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:05:55 +0000 http://www.parkersoft.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8460&PID=19259#19259 Numerous Poll.gif : Hi,The polling mechanism is used... http://www.parkersoft.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8460&PID=19258#19258 Author: Stephen

Hi,

The polling mechanism is used for chat invites and to keep track of when a visitor leaves your site. It can be switched off in the site properties - however invites will only be shown to a visitor on page changes.. and visitors will show as still on your site after they may have left (there is a timeout if a visitor doesn't change pages after 10 mins).

Hello,
 
The poll.gif is what WhosOn uses to track your visitors, this image would be loaded continuously while that visitor was on a tracked page.
 
It would be normal to see this item loaded many times, the longer you have been on the page the more times you should see that is has been loaded.
 
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm currently optimizing the load time of our website. While looking on network request in Firebug, I stumble on more than 100 request on chat.gif to our chat gateway. All these request have similar stamp in their URL (like http://chat.sherweb.com:8080/poll.gif?d=sales-chat.sherweb.com&stamp=1329145431288&u=883-1328210393641). I wonder why so many request are made.
