I want to have a static page (HTML/CSS/JavaScript (jQuery)) that fires an Ajax request to Google Apps Script so that it can return a list of Google Docs, then the JavaScript can display that its, have the user select a document and fire another Ajax request to get the content of the document. The JS is going to be specific to the page and I will write it myself, but I need to know if Google Apps Script can be always open to receive these HTTP requests. It looks like I have to have a trigger, meaning it can't always be available. Is there any way to have Google Apps Script always be available to receive and respond to HTTP requests?

if you launch your google app script as a web app, then why not? – Fabricator Jun 25 '14 at 02:58

You can do a GET request to a published script using the content service parameters.

It can receive POST and GET requests, you gotta use a doGet() or doPost() to get its parameters. Check this documentation out
If you have problems with Ajax requests check my answer here.
