Retrieving data from a webserver
Ipquarx:
How can I retrieve data from a webserver (for example, text) that may change periodically, without having to repeatedly connect to it? Like keeping the conection open, and receiving updated data, etc.
Lugnut:
does torque even support retaining a connection in this manner?
Brian Smithers:
first you should start off by saying what your doing.
Though you can't always be connected, I've tried that and it disconnects eventually.

I know HTTP allows something called Persistent connections, but that's all I know.

I'm trying to recieve data from a webserver, and that data changes often. I need to get all the data, and I need to get it when it changes.
