  CSSHttpRequest.get(
        "http://www.nb.io/hacks/csshttprequest/hello-world/",
        function(response) { alert(response); }
    );

Data is encoded on the server into URI-encoded 2KB chunks and serialized into CSS rules with a modified data: URI scheme. The selector should be in the form #c<N>, where N is an integer index in [0,]. The response is decoded and returned to the callback function as a string:

    #c0 { background: url(data:,Hello%20World!); }
    #c1 { background: url(data:,I’m%20text%20encoded%20in%20CSS!); }
    #c2 { background: url(data:,I%20like%20arts%20and%20crafts.); }

Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google’s webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.

The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks because it is non-blocking and reasonably fast. Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll, it can handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is ideal for real-time web services.

They built the web server Tornado specifically to handle FriendFeed’s real-time features — every active user of FriendFeed maintains an open connection to the FriendFeed servers.

Requirements: PycURL and a JSON library like simplejson installed
