Abstract

Nowadays, web applications have changed from static, information-based web pages to dynamic, service-oriented software. As they evolved, these web applications started to show features that used to appear only in desktops applications. We have reached a point in connection speed and browser maturity where there is only one thing preventing the next big step: the ability of web servers to send information to the client without a previous request. In this paper, we present Meteoroid, a framework that allows a system running in the server to send information to web browsers without a client request. On top of this functionality we have built a full model-view-controller protocol, allowing us to create web applications that completely mimic desktop ones.
