persistent background connection

[creesch]

Are there any plans for implementing a persistent connection backend?

The Node implementation uses a persistent connection handled by socket.io through web/flash sockets or long polling. AFAIK twisted doesn't support persistent http connections and its websocket support is spotty at best. I looked into reimplementing the twisted server with a framework such as Autobahn or Tornado, but I've put those plans on the backburner for now.
