title: Alternative Server Push/ Comet implementation for Android browser without sending 4KB messages?
body: <p>I am developing a web application that uses Comet Hidden iFrame technique to push data from server to mobile browser. </p>
  
  <p>Everything works fine on Mobile Safari but Android is a lot more painful. It seems to require 4 KB messages to be sent from the server in order the message to be taken in account. This is for each messages not only the first one.</p>
  
  <p>Some people tried implementing Comet using XMLHttpRequest streaming but have the same 4KB issues (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13044)</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone managed to implement Comet techniques on Android browser without requiring to pad the messages to 4KB ?</p>
  
  <p>Tested on Android 2.1,2.2</p>
  
  <p>Server sent event seems not  to  be supported even on version Android 4.0
