## About
Small, quick, and easy sockets/longpolling for simple needs with no external dependencies, binaries or GYP rebuilds.
## Why
Other rich solutions can be too bulky to justify their use for very simple needs with long downloads, install times, rebuilds, and may have cross platform inconsistencies.
## How
Basic HTTP longpolling.
