Hello,
i have a question regarding HTTP request/response using ASP.NET.
PROBLEM:
My client-application is behind a firewall, so that the server must be
reached using HTTP. A started job on the server need a long time (ca. 1
hour) and produce intermediate results in a "not" fixed time-grid (that
means polling is not the best solution).
IDEA:
Some times ago i read an article to send a HTTP response in little pieces,
but i forget the location of that article ;-( My idea is to use this
approach for the server, every intermediate result send a little pice of the
HTTP response until the end of the job finish the HTTP response.
QUESTION:
I'am not sure if this is possible (especially over this long time of job).
In a book about HTTP i can't find such a solution in the first place. Is
this possible in ASP.NET ? I now that the HTTP implementation in ASP.NET is
very flexible/pluggable. Can one provide an example or link if this can be
done ?
Thanks in advantage !
Best Regards
Christian
