Murtuzaali Surti ☛ WebSockets 101
Back when websockets weren't a thing, HTTP polling was used for a similar purpose. HTTP is basically a uni-directional protocol wherein a client sends a request to the server, the server accepts the request and sends a response. The server can't send a response for which no request has been made by the client. In simple terms, it only responds to what it's asked for.
This type of behavior poses a problem for real-time applications. What if the server needs to send some information to the client but the client doesn't know about it yet? It can't initiate a response without a request.
