How do I poll concurrently to another server on receiving multiple long poll requests from javascripts? [closed]
I did not see a reason stated against using web sockets.. so I'll link this comparison between long polling and websockets
In what situations would AJAX long/short polling be preferred over HTML5 WebSockets?
There's a ton of existing libraries you can use for both python and js for this type of communication.
(my vote is for websockets)
Edit:
Some libs to consider:
