Migrating HTTP-Push technology "Reliable Secure Profile" to Azure

Question

I'm looking at this WCF sample on HTTP push and want to move this long-polling approach into Azure.

What considerations would need to be taken?

Would I need to create a custom synchronization context?

Answer 1

If you want to do server to client push over http, I would recommend SignalR.

Take a look at www.signalr.net and github.com/SignalR/SignalR/wiki

also take a look of a sample at
