I need working (cross-browser) project (library/server) to build web-chat in comet technology. There are: orbited, orbited2, hookbox, but it seems that are no longer developed (also projects sites are down) and have a lot of bugs.
Any ideas?
Thanks for help!
Have a look at Tornado a simple non-blocking webserver written in Python by the facebook team.
The comet behavior can be done with tornadio which makes possible to use socket.io javascript lib with tornado.
There is a chat example in tornadio that may look like what you are looking for. I 've tested it successfully with IE6, Firefox, Chrome and Opera.
I hope it helps
Shaveet is a zero-config JSONP/CORS long-polling(AKA comet) server, that has chat apps as examples.
