[thelist] setting up xml-rpc ping service

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

Hi I did not use xml-rpc or a web service to ping, but implemented a
ping mechanism with AJAX:

Here is a rather simplified pseudocode:

1. open an HTTP request to some State.aspx
2.0 - if State is SOMETHING_NEW_OUT_THERE, retrieve it, put it on the page.
2.1.- else go to 3
3. wait half a minute. go to 1

(plus some cookie interaction to store client-wide state information)

Though there are tons of issues to be aware and beware when using
AJAX. At least you need an option to transform gracefully to a
non-ajax structure when the browser does not support it.

If it helps,

Cheers,
Volkan.
