    Does CuteChat use http / port80

    Yesterday I downloaded and installed the demo. Did work flawless (my compliments). After installing the demo and reading the help file I still have a couple of questions:
    - What kind protocol is used?
    - Are the client and server in a session while chatting (is a server push)?
    - Is it possible for a firewall to block the chat session?
    - Is there a maximum number of users. Does anyone have any experience with cutechat and a large number of concurrent users?
     
    I hope anyone can answer my questions.
     
    regards

    Hi , MarkWil  :

     
    Thanks for downloading and testing the demo , And thanks for your compiments .
     
    The CuteChat use the HTTP protocol to exchange information between server and client . But it does not use server push technology . ( Because the pushing need a live network connection , and it really waste the network resource and server resources )
     
    The CuteChat access the server for interval time (configuratable) . Each time the CuteChat client (scripting) send or get messages , the client would use the HTTP protocal to send a request to the server , and the server would return immediately after the request have done .
     
    So , if anything HTTP could do , the CuteChat could do too. So if a user could access a website through firewall/proxy , the user could access CuteChat on that website too .
     
    The CuteChat support any Port as HTTP does.
     
    --> Of a Server with P4 2.0G CPU <-- :
    Currently We just test the CuteChat with 20 persons in it , it have no any problem and the Usage of CPU is only 10% . So I believe that the CuteChat can support 200 persons at the same time . And the maximun number of users should be much more then 200 , maybe the messages would be updated slower , but the CuteChat would not crashed .  (I means if 1000 people are online , the Server would be OK , and the only result is the messages would be updated more slowly , about for every 10 seconds)
     
    Regards , Terry .

    It means HTTP pushing for Web servers , would waste HTTP connections and the Asp.Net resources.
