To allow to exchange binary message through HTTP long polling transport, Vibe Protocol 3.0.0-Alpha11, Vibe JavaScript Client 3.0.0-Alpha12 and Vibe Java Server 3.0.0-Alpha14 are released.

• HTTP long polling transport should allow to exchange binary message. Each issue has a comment to demonstrate how to use that feature. vibe-protocol#54, vibe-java-server#77
  • As for binary feature, we decided to drop supporting browsers where XMLHttpRequest 2 and Typed Arrays are not available, i.e. IE 6, 7, 8 and 9. vibe-javascript-client#49

In next iteration, likewise, how to facilitate exchange of binary message via HTTP streaming transport will be covered as a sub task of exchange of binary event via socket and its browser support will follow the one of the above HTTP long polling transport. If you have any feedback, please let us know and we really appreciate them.
