最近一直关注COMET推技术，现在已经应用很普遍了
比如renren，新浪微博，都用到了COMET技术
大部分使用java实现的，下面是用PHP实现的原理
原理：利用htmlfile这个ActiveX，往页面上放一个iframe，设置它的src为请求的地址。
1.我们需要一个持久链接的HTTP请求
2.需要一个加载javascript的html页面
这个脚本会做一个无限循环，将返回服务器的时间，只要客户端连接。
<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
flush();

<title>Comet php backend</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
// KHTML browser don't share javascripts between iframes
var is_khtml = navigator.appName.match("Konqueror") || navigator.appVersion.match("KHTML");
if (is_khtml)
{
var prototypejs = document.createElement('script');
prototypejs.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
prototypejs.setAttribute('src','prototype.js');
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head');
head[0].appendChild(prototypejs);
}
// load the comet object
var comet = window.parent.comet;
</script>
<?php
while(1) {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'comet.printServerTime('.time().');';
echo '</script>';
flush(); // used to send the echoed data to the client
sleep(1); // a little break to unload the server CPU
}
?>
</body>
</html>
创建客户端脚本
var comet = {
connection : false,
iframediv : false,
initialize: function() {
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) {
// For IE browsers
comet.connection = new ActiveXObject("htmlfile");
comet.connection.open();
comet.connection.write("<html>");
comet.connection.write("<script>document.domain = '"+document.domain+"'");
comet.connection.write("</html>");
comet.connection.close();
comet.iframediv = comet.connection.createElement("div");
comet.connection.appendChild(comet.iframediv);
comet.connection.parentWindow.comet = comet;
comet.iframediv.innerHTML = "<iframe id='comet_iframe' src='./backend.php'></iframe>";
} else if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("KHTML") != -1) {
// for KHTML browsers
comet.connection = document.createElement('iframe');
comet.connection.setAttribute('id', 'comet_iframe');
comet.connection.setAttribute('src', './backend.php');
with (comet.connection.style) {
position = "absolute";
left = top = "-100px";
height = width = "1px";
visibility = "hidden";
}
document.body.appendChild(comet.connection);
} else {
// For other browser (Firefox...)
comet.connection = document.createElement('iframe');
comet.connection.setAttribute('id', 'comet_iframe');
with (comet.connection.style) {
left = top = "-100px";
height = width = "1px";
visibility = "hidden";
display = 'none';
}
comet.iframediv = document.createElement('iframe');
comet.iframediv.setAttribute('src', './backend.php');
comet.connection.appendChild(comet.iframediv);
document.body.appendChild(comet.connection);
}
},
// this function will be called from backend.php
printServerTime: function (time) {
$('content').innerHTML = time;
},
onUnload: function() {
if (comet.connection) {
comet.connection = false; // release the iframe to prevent problems with IE when reloading the page
}
}
}
Event.observe(window, "load", comet.initialize);
Event.observe(window, "unload", comet.onUnload);
