Method and apparatus for asynchronously pushing pages to browsers

摘要

A generic java applet which opens a connection to a web server allowing the web server to asynchronously push data to a browser. The java applet is embedded in a web page and loaded by the web browser with the web page. The java applet enables the web server to transmit any form of data to the browser so specialized java applets would be unnecessary. As the java applet is opened by the standard web browser, specialized software, or plug-ins, are unnecessary.
