Ciao all,

can anybody be so kind to point me in the right direction
on how to implement a server push ("Comet programming")
in a Firefox extension? Basically, I need to implement a
widget which gets frequent data updates from a server,
which in turn trigger UI updates.

I read around about timer-based XMLHttpRequest push,
or XMLHttpRequest long polling, or XMLHttpRequest
multipart/x-mixed-replace. Is there a "best approach"
among all the solutions?

Thanks in advance.
