Automatic Wildcard Support in WebSync 3.3

by jerod.venema 10. November 2010 00:22

Users today are often subjected to the 2-connection limit imposed by some browsers. With WebSync 3.3, we've made removing that limitation as simple as possible. There are now just 3 steps:

  1. Add a Wildcard DNS entry for your domain
  2. Set up IIS to support that Wildcard DNS entry
  3. Tell WebSync about it

Steps 1 and 2 are pretty simple, although they may vary somewhat according to your DNS provider. Step 3, however, is incredibly easy. Simply tell WebSync where your wildcard exists:

client.initialize({
  requestUrl: 'http://www.example.com/request.ashx',
  stream: {
    requestUrl: 'http://*.stream.example.com/request.ashx'
  }
});

Yep, it's really that simple! No more connection limit woes.
