But this problem seems to come up more and more often nowadays. Web browsers, being pure clients, are not good enough. What we want is some technology that implements servers on the user's end. Mini-servers, if you wish. Actually, I think this maybe a long term tendency: more and more mini-servers would be running on end-users' machines.
That or a bi-directional protocol, like RTSP. I've actually developed protocols like this in-house and they're pretty easy to work with. Full duplex HTTP would be a dream. =) --jfarr
