Description Christian Erpelding 2009-10-21 04:06:30 UTC

At the moment, the SBS Comet implementation does only accept messages encapsulated in a JSON array.

It would a good enhancement to also allow single (i.e. not array-encapsulated) messages.

E.g. the widely used Comet library for Java (cometd+jetty) uses a single "connect" message. This does not work with the current SBS implementation.

Comment 1 Andy Grundman 2009-10-26 09:48:03 UTC

The spec says:

All Bayeux messages SHOULD be encapsulated in a JSON array so that multiple messages may be transported together. A Bayeux client or server MUST accept either array of messages and MAY accept a single message

This may have been updated since I implemented it, I recall it may have said that everything should be in an array.  So it sounds like your client may be broken.  Probably wouldn't be much work to support a single message though.  Will leave this as a future enhancement, please provide a patch if you're interested in this.
