ARREST: Extending REST for Subscriptions
by Kris ZypApril 16th, 2008
In the comments of my proposal for native Comet support in browsers, Stu Charlton pointed me to an excellent paper on extending REST [23 MB pdf] to support subscriptions, routing, and decentralization. The author of the paper is Dr. Rohit Khare, a co-founder of KnowNow and certainly one of the pioneers of Comet. The paper provides a great theoretical foundation for our efforts towards more powerful Comet architectures, and highlights the power of leveraging HTTP capabilities in advancing two-way communication [powerpoint].
