Using JavaScript protocol from .NET

Thanks for the reply. Essentially I have a .NET front end that I want to stream data into, but the server only currently has web clients. I don't think the server supports non-web clients, since that is a different protocol is that right?

Hi Fil,

Yes, I confirm you need to use a paid edition of Lightstreamer Server (at least Allegro + .NET Client API) in order to stream data to .NET Clients.

Kind regards,
Alessandro

Good point Alessandro, but that was not the intention of my question.

The issue is having a .NET client that can traverse the internet just like web clients (ie. using HTTP etc.). This is the advantage of the protocol as I see it..

Hi Fil,

The .NET Client API of Lightstreamer does use HTTP to traverse the Internet, exactly as the HTML Client API. The difference is that these two APIs use slightly different application protocols on the top of HTTP. But for everything concerning firewall and proxy traversal, they are exactly the same. So you can definitely leverage the provided .NET Client API.

Hope that helps.
