Streaming Stuff

What exactly is streaming? When I use a browser or an application and it
gets streaming data (say, Headlines, Stock Quotes, etc), what is it really
doing. Is it just that the client is constantly making new requests for
information from a given web server, or is there more magic to it? It
sounds like we are opening a connection and getting a constant "stream" of
information...is this the case, or is it just an illusion.

If it really is a constant stream, does anyone have any suggestions for
where I can learn more about how to write code for a stream client? Also
how to glean the necessary information from the server to make it connect,
etc?

Thanks

Streaming is continuely sending and receiving data like a broadcast.

Socket based data basically.
