Heh, you're alive holger? :-) Well, is that the same reason why IRC's DCC
doesn't work? Probably yes. Well, Rugby is not slow. So why does chat
client based upon it need to use polling? IRC doesn't do so probably, and
I am IRCing from behind the firewall here. Hmm, although not probably
using http tunneling ...
On the other hand polling means limiting - I can't simply imagine hundreds
of users polling server each sec or three - what a massive communication
....
