Polling requests

Overview

Polling is a mechanism used by the Push technology whereby a request is sent by the client to the server at regular intervals. In return, the server updates the status of connected client. Between two polling requests, the server stores the updates sent to the client in its memory until the next polling request is received.

Neotys Design Studio uses a special request to represent a polling request in User Paths.

Neotys Design Studio handles long polling in the same way as polling.

• Information: To be able to handle polling requests, you will need to purchase the optional Push module. This module is included in the demo version of Neotys Design Studio.
