I have an app that uses TCP to send and receive messages between clients and
a server. This is convenient because it is not always a request/response
scenerio. For example, a message might need to be broadcasted to all
clients.

For scalability and mobile reasons, I'm thinking of changing from a TCP
connection to a web app or web services app.

What techniques are available so I can send information to clients without
first getting a request? Any ideas are appreciated.

HTTP is a stateless protocol so it is not possible to
identify client browser and push information to it.

The clients browser should constantly ping the server at
regular intervals to check for the published information.
