Re: Anyone know if RSS <cloud> is used in the real world?

Just a thought - the client-side HTTP server is a powerful tool (as
demonstrated by the Userland kit), but as noted the open connection is
something of a killer. Perhaps there may be potential for hooking
something like a Jabber interface/proxy to a local HTTP server to
tunnel the notifications..? It could be a commodity kind of (local)
service, independent of anything specific at either end.

I've said this many times before, but the only way to do push is to have a network of centralized servers run by either ISPs or client app publishers. Each client opens a connection to the server and leaves it open for as long as the user is online. As the server receives notifications, they get pushed down the connection to the client.

This is the model used for things like AOL Instant Messenger, and it works really well.
