Hi Alberto,

much more information required to answer this. Like what protocol are you planning to use?

Cheers
Bruce

Any protocol will be ok...
It is for a stocks system.
On the server side there are many modification on stock prices and quantities and this must be transmited to many browsers that are listening to the server.

Hi Alberto,

I don't think this qualifies as "streaming".

I think maybe this could be done using WebSockets (which are on the list for NT9, but not in yet).

Cheers

I think you are right, any ETA for it in NT9?

no ETA yet - it might be soon, it might not. I do have the code though, so it's not a big job to fold it in.

cheers

Hi Ramiro,

All things are _possible_ because fundamentally it's just data moving over a connection.

Of course some things might be more work than others. Email is easy because the work to implement POP3, SMTP and IMAP have been done. For other things the support for that protocol has not been done, so it''s more work to make it happen. but, as I say, it's all _possible_.

Personally I've not done any work in the field of streaming audio, so you'd need to investigate what protocols you want to use, and then implement them if you wanted to use them.

cheers
Bruce
