Question for Web Service Buffs

I'm trying to understand how async callbacks are possible with web services
since they use HTTP (which is stateless) for their communication protocol.
What happens under the covers to allow services to perform callbacks when
they're complete?

Thanks for your help.

Responding to a question with a question doesn't quite answer it. Can you
provide any low-level details about how it works?

It seems like the client must be opening a TCP connection (on port 80) that
stays open. Is that right? If so, in the async communication, how does the
web server know when to close the connection?

Thanks.

You just said it was /stateless/.

John,
I have no idea what your statement means, but it's not an answer.

Can anyone else describe what happens when an async callback is made from a
web service?

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, an async call to a web service all happens on the client
side - basically a thread is spawned on the client side to invoke the web
service via the thread pool and when the thread completes the web service
call, it invokes you callback.

I'm trying to finalize a windows service design any would appreciate any comments - I'm new to windows services. Essentially my UI app relies on a service to schedule IO tasks. The service does nothing but keep track of elapsed time. The reason I need a service is because the IO tasks are login agnostic. It doesn't matter if anyone, or no one, is logged in. The IO tasks are defined in the UI.
