Live Streaming

[Makhate Makhate]

Hey,

I read that Rails supports Live Streaming and i'd like to get a clarification; does that mean that rails supports streaming live audio and video; just like on radio stations websites?

Live streaming refers to the fact that the response is sent progressively, rather than rails rendering the whole thing in one go and then sending it. This enables some long-polling type features. It can also improve user experience, since you can send the head of the page, telling the browser about what css/javascript to download and have it make a start on downloading them before you've finished sending the response.

There's not really  any connection with the streaming of audio/video.
