[MUD-Dev2] [DESIGN] AJAX Client/Servers?

[Phillip Lenhardt]

Is anyone aware of or working on AJAX(ish) client/server code for
something mud-like?  I am specifically not interested in emulating
a telnet+ansi connection in a browser.  I am interested in the
details of making http 1.1 keep-alive and chunking work (correctly?
at all?) to minimize the amount of socket creation/teardown, error
detection and recovery when sockets/connections close, etc.  Extra
points if the server end code is in python.
