comet implementation in golang

comet.go

comet server implementation in golang. This is development version and not ready for other uses.

install:

• install go
• clone app: git clone [e-mail]:zeljkokunica/comet.go.git
• cd comet.go
• ./setup_and_build.sh
• ./comet_server --port=8080

Supported options:

• data channels
• additional subscriptions/unsubscriptions
• multiple channel subscription
• simple channel persistance using files (can be restarted)
• data create, update and clear via http request (requires channel name and data - string, usualy containing json)
• web socket communication where available, and long poll as a fallback

Not yet supported, but planned

• channel persistance using redis
• channel timeout - clear channel when and if not persistent

Includes:

• js lib for web client (uses jQuery)
• go comet server
• client example page (http://localhost:8090/client.html)
• status page (http://localhost:8090/status.html)
• simple data feeder example page (http://localhost:8090/feeder.html)

Other TODOs

• test and tune
• supervision of health?

Future plans :)

• conduct all client-server communication through this server:
• all communication through web socket (if available)
• routing requests to other systems
• each client has it's own private channel
• other systems informs client through it's private channel (progress, results...)
