| Description | The Composr chat room regularly 'polls' the server for new messages.
HTML5 web sockets provide a solid alternative. The server holds open a program for each user, and the connection to the user is held open in the users browser. i.e. there is an ongoing communication channel, rather than just a one-off request capability. Web sockets will be in IE10. PHP cannot support web sockets unless you have a good level of server access and are very technical minded. |

| Additional information | Be aware this cannot be implemented yet!
This is a placeholder for when PHP (hopefully) comes with a way to be able to do web sockets for the average user. |
