Does linode load balancers support HTTP long polling and/or websockets?

Question

Does linode load balancers support HTTP long polling and/or websockets? I couldn't find any info about this on their site.

Thanks.

Answer 1

they do, but unfortunately there's not going to be any documentation to help you. I setup my site noobniche.com with them and it was a complete pain. Even a shared host like Webfaction will allow this, but you'll consume your shared hosting plan pretty quickly. Linode is a pretty good bet, you have complete access to everything.
