How are comets made in apache server?

Question

JavaScript

I wondered how to make a chat on the site. But that's not the task, I made the site on Apache. And here it turns out that a nodejs server is required to implement web tips. What should I do ? Transfer your site to nodejs or implement communication from one server to another?

Answer 1

you don’t need to transfer anything anywhere ,
you put the comet server on a port other than http (80) and enjoy
for great beauty, you can put the comet server on localhost, and proxy requests from the web server to it (google websocket apache2 mod proxy)
