Re^2: BLOGGING and/or WIKI modules for Dancer2

Personally, I found Server-sent Events / EventSource much easier as it is unidirectional and has less features/security issues like scanning your internal network.

With both, the server can notify the client of changes and send the changed data.

Looks wonderful. I am out of the loop. Thanks for mentioning it.

There are two modules for handling Server-Sent Events that I know off:

• Plack::App::EventSource - by vti
• HTTP::ServerEvent - by me, but it only handles building the string to write. It includes a Plack demo as Plack::Example::ServerEvents.

Hi, whats this now?

Using WebRTC WebSockets, you can instruct the browser to connect to arbitrary IP addresses within your local network to arbitrary ports and speak arbitrary TCP protocols to it. So you don't even need DNS rebinding but can write and deliver a port scanner in HTML+Javascript.

From what I can tell WebRTC isnt the same as WebSockets, so, not really seeing the issue :)
