Simple HTTP pooling #155

Hi,

From my understanding of the Atmosphere Specification, simple http pooling should be available : https://github.com/Atmosphere/wasync/wiki/Atmosphere-Client-Specification-1.0#transports-supported

I can't find anywhere.

Due to the lack of async servlet on our application server, coupled with the sudden influx of 16k clients, we need a simple http pooling to avoid an explosion of threads on our servers. We're currently using http long-polling.

The servers will be upgraded at the end of next year and we should be able to use Websockets at the same time. In the meantime though, we're stuck with a suboptimal solution of simple http pooling.

Did I miss something ? Would it be possible to develop a simple implementation of simple http pooling on our end or would that be a daunting task ?

Thanks for your help.
