Hi,

take a look to the "Lightstreamer and AJAX" section of this document: http://www.lightstreamer.com/docs/Li...r_Paradigm.pdf
The document itself is quite old and partially obsolete but that depiction of differences between polling and streaming is still valid.

You can get back to streaming by re-issuing the changeStatus("STREAMING") but the client may fall back to POLLING again if for some reason it is unable to establish a streaming connection (e.g.: a blocking proxy in the middle) so this is not a suggested approach.
