RE: Update your STEEM apps! Big changes coming for 3rd party developers

in #steemitdev7 years ago

https connections are exactly the same as wss connections, except they're "upgraded" https connections. Also, the fact they are now using keep-alive would negate your point that they're extracting some benefit by using "short-lived https connections".

Sort:  

Except, they do not scale well. Go try to load balance millions of websocket connections and see how that goes :)

Exactly.
We have difficulties with performance already. This approach will only worsen the situation.
