View 2 RepliesI have a web app, written in Javascript, that communicates to a back-end
server via XMLHttpRequest.
The logic goes:
* Login
* Perform transaction
* (delay while the user does something)
* Perform transaction
* ...
* Logout
It would be really convenient if I could make the whole thing a single HTTP
connection. That way, I avoid needing IPC and session management at the
server end, and a single instance of a CGI script can represent the entire
session. When the socket gets closed, the CGI script terminates and
implicitly logs the user off. All very simple.
Can I use HTTP pipelining with XMLHttpRequest to do this? The docs seem to
say (it's quite hard to tell) that I have to call open() after each send(),
which will presumably create a new HTTP session. Can I 'persuade' the
browser to reuse an existing session?
I'd like to implement a server socket in java: something linke the following example.
The problem is that the HTML has not the permission to execute instruction
serverSocket = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/server-socket;1"].
createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIServerSock et);
Question:
1 - how do I give it this permisison?
2 - one solution I thought was to put the javascript code in a firefox
extension, to load, so it should have all needed permisison, but,
How can I call a java script function define in an extension
from an html page? - there's some particular syntax? ....
I'm creating a simple TCP/IP app that will assist in data storage with my JavaScript. The two main purposes of the app is to create local storage and make network connects.Anyone know how to get JavaScript to talk locally with the socket app? I know that XMLHTTPRequest is said to talk to TCP/IP. Is there anyway to make JavaScript point locally rather than toward the web?

Lightbox is only for those visitors who want to see images in a larger view. Is this something we should be concerned about? Are their other choices that would be better?
