Need to be able to continuously receive calls when a Chrome webpage is open. How do I do that even for users who are inside a strict enterprise network?

WebSockets? (but there's the proxy problems that doesn't know what wss:// is) HTTP? (but will I have to poll?) Other?

Since you included the "vLine" tag, I'll reply with some information on how our WebRTC platform will behave in an enterprise network. vline.js will use a secure WebSocket by default if the browser supports it and fall back to HTTPS long polling. As described here, the secure WebSocket may work depending on the exact proxy configuration. Feel free to test it out by using GitTogether or creating your own vLine service for testing.

  • How would websockets perform better than http long polling and why to prefer websockets? – user1999624 Jul 22 '13 at 09:00
  • With regard to the proxy, I'm not sure that WebSockets would necessarily be any better (if both are HTTPS). However, performance-wise a WebSocket is generally better than long polling, which is really a hack: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10029326 – tomtheengineer Jul 22 '13 at 16:15
