i’m looking at a stock/index:
http://www.google.com/finance?q=google
I’ve got firebug open, in firefox and when the price updates on the page, i dont see any GETs or POSTs, just a get maybe 30 to 60 seconds later.
Surely if the page is being updated with a value, wouldnt firebug show this data reaching the page as it happens? Or does firebug collect connections in batches?
Look further back in the GET connection logs to see if there is a connection that was opened but not closed. It’s likely that the page is opening an XmlHttpRequest connection to the data server and keeping the connection open indefinitely. This is common for streaming data situations, even when the data stream is fairly low volume. If this is the case, then new data will arrive on the open connection without any new connection activity reported in the log.
