Abstract

Desktop based real-time communication applications are commonly used for presence based instant messaging and telephony applications. Such applications use installed desktop components to handle real-time asynchronous events on the client originating from the communication system. When the client is based in a web browser these installed components are not available however browser-based communication applications are required to handle the same type of asynchronous events. Moreover, browser-based clients which typically run over HTTP are challenged by HTTP itself which is designed to be a synchronous request-response protocol. We contend that a suitable mechanism can be found to deliver asynchronous real-time events to browser-based applications.
