I've worked with folks who are chatting online with their peers, constantly batting around ideas. I've also worked with folks who adamantly refuse and think it's a waste of time.

Recently in an interview I was asked how I would approach an online chat client application. I went through the standard "polling" solution but was cut off because the interviewer was looking for the "HTTP 1.1 keep-alive" method. Having used HTTP for quite a while and remembering that the whole point was to be "stateless", this never o...
I'd like to implement a scalable chatroom in rails using AJAX. I know from research that the only scalability happens with a server-side push. My two questions are: 1) In a reasonably efficient chat server, at what point does polling become prohibitive? 2) I really don't want to use Juggernaut. I don't know much about how comet works...
