My kingdom for a socket API
bapper: why isn't there a socket API for javascript?
bapper: Seems like that would make some things a whole lot easier.
workberry: security?
bapper: it could have the same security that java has.
workberry: yeah, except javascript has access to your cookies
bapper: applets have the ability to connect back to the same server they were served up from.
bapper: java doesn't?
workberry: and javascript has XMLHTTPRequest
Caine: all your cookies are belong to javascript
workberry: I'm in ur cookies messing up your amazon orders
bapper: yes it does, but that's just a lame tool that people use to do things they would normally do with a plain socket.
workberry: bapper, did you forget that not everybody is a kernel programmer again? ;-)
bapper: read/write "connection always on" kind of thing is what I'm talking about.
workberry: well, HTTP is stateless...does that matter
bapper: man, that shit is far more complicated to use that sockets are.
workberry: hahahahaha
