  • In web development, Comet is a neologism to describe an web application model in which a long-held HTTP connection allows a web server to push data to a browser, without the browser explicitly requesting it. Comet is an umbrella term that uses multiple techniques for achieving this interaction. All methods have in common that they rely on browser-native technologies such as JavaScript, rather than on proprietary plugins. In theory, the Comet approach differs from the original model of the web, in which a browser requests a complete web page or chunks of data to update a web page. However in practice, Comet applications typically use Ajax with long polling to detect new information on the server. The concept has been known by various names, including Ajax Push, Reverse Ajax, Two-way-web, HT
