How does one go about doing asynchronous updates between two web
clients? Take Google Chat for example... how does Google Chat update a
chatter's chat window with text entered by the other chatter?
It doesn't work client to client. It works client to server, both
clients communicating with the server as the bridge.
User types message into Client 1. Client 1 sends message to server.
Server stores message. Client 2 polls server for new messages, server
sends message to client 2. Client 2 displays message to User 2. User 2
enters message. Client 2 sends message to server....on and on and on.
