  "abstract": "On today's Internet, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is often used (some would say abused) to enable asynchronous, \"server- initiated\" communication from a server to a client as well as communication from a client to a server.  This document describes known issues and best practices related to such \"bidirectional HTTP\" applications, focusing on the two most common mechanisms: HTTP long polling and HTTP streaming.  This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.",
