All HTTP responses require the client to initiate them, even those made using AJAX. But GMail's chat feature is able to receive messages from other users, even when I'm just sitting in my comfy computer chair watching but not interacting with the browser. How did they do it? Pablo Fernandez That tech is known as "comet", but also as "server push", "reverse ajax", etc. It's about pushing data from the server to the browser, keeping an http connection alive. Find more info on it on the wikipedia article ( English version ). Also here's a pretty good presentation with Joe Walker from DWR, where

Aim Allowing the Users to access their selected Group Chat. Once the user clicks on the Group Chat name, they will be entered into that Group Chat. Database Tree As shown in the Database Tree, the Currently Signed In user will be shown a list of Group Chat names that have been created. I have an Admin Account to create these Group Chats for the users. The Android, Asia, and Europe group chats that are seen within the Database ARE NOT fixed variables. They are names. A newly Group Chat name could be "Earth". Therefore there is no way of calling it by a variable other than calling it by the Node

I am looking for a solution for developing iOS and Android chat to replace our current (unreliable, maybe poorly written by previous devs) XMPP/OpenFire chat. I came across Firebase which looks good. However, I don't quite get the setup for it. Can I host Firebase on my own server and not have to subscribe to any of Firebase's plans? Firebase offers a few products: the Firebase realtime database Firebase hosting (for hosting static resources) Firebase authentication I think you are looking for the Firebase realtime database. There is no way currently to host the Firebase realtime database on

I am playing around with building a chat application using PHP and CodeIgniter. For this, I am implementing a cache 'buffer' with memcached to hold the most recent chat messages in memory, reducing load on the database. What I want to do is this: When a message arrives, I save it in memcached using the current minute (YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM) as the key. No database I/O involved. The idea being that all messages from the same minute are collected under the same key. Users receive new chat messages also fetched from memcached (for now I'm using long-polling, but this will move to WebSockets under Node

How would I create chat bubbles like this. More specifically how to group two ore more consecutive messages by one type of user into a bubble as a whole. For example FOR THE SENDER - the first message has right bottom border a 0, the messages in between have right top,bottom as 0 border radius and the last one has top right 0 border radius .

I am working on a chat application for android. This chat application is for sending messages from one device to another using internet(GPRS,3G,etc) from this application. please tell me a way to implement this. I thought using web services is more data(internet) consuming and less efficient.is this right? I worked on server and client sockets. I ran both server and client classes in single device and messages can be transfered from client socket to server socket and vice versa.Now i want to message between two devices using server socket on web server and how to connect to server from Android
