title: Monitor server events and update list in web page
body: <p>In a list of events I present on a web page I want to offer the feature to get "live" updates in case of an event on the server side. So kind of a live monitor instead of reloading the list in a polling cycle. </p>
  
  <p>I guess I need something like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>- Client: open a socket to the server (ajax like), 
            listening for events, 
            if an event comes, update the visible list.
  - Server: if such socket has been opened: 
            propagate any event through that socket.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something like a jQuery extension suitable for this purpose ?</p>
