Allow to configure RPC query interval #206

Open nitmir opened 9 years ago

nitmir commented 9 years ago

My instance of twister is on a remote server up 24/7 and I connect to it from a very slow connection. Actually, twister-html run a background RPC query before the last one return causing after a few minutes to completly sature my connection.

I would love to tell twister-html to only query in the backgourd every 10s or more, the best being to have an option to configure it.

Good idea! We may also integrate browser tab focus detection:

So query interval could have two values (with and without focus).

What about merging subsequent requests into a single batch request (twister-core supports this way)?

As long as twisterd runs locally the polling is not much of a problem i think (don't know for mobile). If you are using a remote server, like nitmir, through twister-proxy the lame repeated polling could be done by the proxy on behalf of the client through a mechanism called long polling as i proposed in https://github.com/digital-dreamer/twister-proxy/issues/5

+1 for long polling. that's something i'd like to have implemented right from the start of twister (lame polling is simply stupid) but i had to get going so i didn't take any time to investigate.
