Acronym: Long Running Web Process
iMatix, the maker of the
open source Xitami webserver is also the maker of LRWP, which is Xitami's method of handling
persistent CGI connections.
Those familiar with
ASP, or
PHP, or
Perl used as cgi
scripts, may be familiar with the concept of a persistent
CGI connection, which gradually feeds the user information, usually based either on information that only becomes available while the user is connected, which is usually a result of user interaction, or in my experience, active monitoring.
