function test(){
            new Ajax.Request("http://172.22.22.22:8888/longPolling",
            {
                method:"get",
                asynchronous:true,
                onSuccess: function (transport){
                    alert(transport.responseText);
                }
            })
        }

should be

function test(){
            new Ajax.Request("/longPolling",
            {
                method:"get",
                asynchronous:true,
                onSuccess: function (transport){
                    alert(transport.responseText);
                }
            })
        }
