Summary: This is purely a prototype at the moment, but the basic functionality sort of works. I'm not sure how far I want to go with this but I think we might be able to get somewhere without it being gross. The idea here is to build a notification server WITHOUT using Comet, since Comet is extremely difficult and complicated. Instead, I use Flash on the client. LocalConnection allows flash instances to talk to each other and connect() can be used as a locking primitive. This allows all the instances to elect a master instance in a race-safe way. The master is responsible for opening a single connnection to the server. On the server, I use Node.js since PHP is pretty unsuitable for this task. See Github Issue #3: https://github.com/facebook/phabricator/issues/3 One thing I need to figure out next is if I can reasonably do SSL/TSL over Flash (it looks like I can, in theory, with the as3crypto library) or if the server needs to just send down version information and trigger a separate Ajax call on the client. Test Plan: Created a client pool and connected it to the server, with election and failover apparently working correctly.
