[mosh-devel] mosh support for Web Applications

[Keith Winstein]

Hello Ron,

Thanks for your kind words! We would love to expand SSP and the Mosh
techniques to improve Web applications, but we're just not there yet.
If you control the Web application, there are some conventional tricks
(e.g. have the client poll every 10 seconds with a new AJAX request
and never give up) to get relatively good recovery after a change in
IP address. This is the best advice I can give for now although there
are others here who know more about this stuff than me. Good luck!

Best regards,
Keith
