Comet Web Model/Web 2.0 Push Support

Hitting every possible resource point I can in my attempt understand if any of the F5 products support Comet/Web 2.0 Push, aka Ajax push, aka HTTP Server push.

 

 

Just learning this concept myself but per the Wikipedia definition (paraphrased):

 

 

Comet is a web application model where a long held HTTP request allows a server to send updates to the client without the browser explicitly requesting it. Comet is also known by several other names, including Ajax Push, Reverse Ajax, HTTP Streaming, and HTTP server push etc. Comet applications typically use Ajax with long polling to detect new information on the server. In long polling, the server holds on to a HTTP request until it has any new data to send (or a timeout expires). On receiving a response, the client immediately sends a new request that is held at the server. Other ways of achieving this include using HTTP chunks over a single request or not terminating a response (no Content-Length or chunk headers.

 

 

Does anyone know if F5 supports this functionality and if so which appliances/modules provide this support?

 

 

Thanks.
