Streaming A FILE

[tommynanda]

Hi!
I want to stream a TXT or HTML file to the clients browser like a media content but with pauses in between Is there a way to Do this other than using META REFRESH tag. I want to use this for developing a chat window any suggestions? Is that possible to make Clients browser listening to Server continuously. 😕

thankyou

for as far as I know, this will only work in Mozilla/Netscape and will bog down your server in no-time, especially when many clients connect

better thing is to create a page that shows, for instance, the last 20 lines, pulled from a database

I recomend database driven. Then you have two choices write the client in java or use meta refresh to pull the page again.
