It's amazing how far the Web has come from its early days. I was especially intrigued by how you didn't include the Content-Length header to allow a constant stream of data. It's bad practice now, but that must've been really ingenious at the time.
It was quite the hack but worked well and only occasionally would you have to "reconnect" but I built that in as well and the end of the stream would always include a hyperlink to reload the content area and start it up again, giving the content from the last time you saw.
I still have the source code. I should get it up and running some time to see how bad it is. Haha.
