Live Streaming

Rails

Hey,

I read that Rails supports Live Streaming and i’d like to get a
clarification; does that mean that rails supports streaming live audio
and
video; just like on radio stations websites?

Live streaming refers to the fact that the response is sent
progressively,
rather than rails rendering the whole thing in one go and then sending
it.
This enables some long-polling type features. It can also improve user
experience, since you can send the head of the page, telling the browser
about what css/javascript to download and have it make a start on
downloading them before you’ve finished sending the response.

There’s not really any connection with the streaming of audio/video.
