I’m working on a project where a page, needs to be able to keep updated according to the state of a server.

I like websockets for this since they offer me a way of pushing messages from the server, but availability is a problem.

I need generic way to do two way communication between a webserver and a browser-client.

I would like to be able to hold a large amount of clients on my server, so busywaiting clients is not a good solution.

I’ve looked at long pooling, but this seames like busy waiting on the clients part — is it the only way to go if I need IE support?

This question is only about the clients end of the transactions.

    Do you need two-way communication? If not you should use SSE (Server-sent Events). They are also easier to simulate in IE (as SSE actually degrades gracefully to long-polling on older systems).
