How to solve Chrome's 6 connection limit when using xhr polling

Question

I recently found out that Chrome seems to have a connection limit of 6 ( Chrome hangs after certain amount of data transfered - waiting for available socket ) unfortunately

Answer 1

Use a real webSocket, rather than XHR Polling. webSocket connections do not count toward the http connection limit to the same origin.

There is a separate global limit to how many webSocket connections can be created, but it is a high number (200 in Firefox - not sure what it is exactly in Chrome).

Here are some references on this topic:

• Max parallel http connections in a browser?

• Maximum concurrent connections to the same domain for browsers

• HTTP simultaneous connections per host limit… are per tab, browser instance or global?.
