Meteor is awesome, but it looks like it uses long polling in the browser instead of real websockets.
Meteor uses sockjs, right? Are sockets disabled explicitly? (read it somewhere here). what’s the reason for it?
Tanks a lot
Andreas
Edit: Since Meteor 0.6.3.1 websockets are enabled by default in numerous browsers.
Previous answer:
For some reason I can’t find the source (think it was on the mailinglist, but can’t find it there), but from the top of my head:
They are explictly disabled due to compatibility issues with various browsers.
