How can I establish a long-lived connection with jQuery for push notification?
<p>I am trying to establish a long lived connection using jQuery. I have a URL in the form of:</p>

<pre><code>http://www.sample.com/Notify?sessionId=xxxxxx
</code></pre>

<p>Now if I call this URL with the sessionId, it is equivalent to registering for Asynchronous notifications. I am aware of ajax calls using jQuery but as I understand it, after getting some data, jQuery terminates the connection. Is there a way to make it retain the connection so that the server miht be able to push information?</p>
