Examples how to write realtime web applications in Golang

This repository contains examples for the following real-time implementations:

• Server-sent events
• Long Polling
• Websocket

Most of the long polling systems close the connection after each transmission from the server, with the help of oboe.js this example can handle multiple messages from the server in realtime without closing/reconnecting.

howto

1. install dependencies go get golang.org/x/net/websocket
2. run the go script go run realtimeweb.go
3. open http://localhost:8000 and choose an example
4. connect to localhost port 8001 via telnet (telnet localhost 8001)
5. have fun
