“Web Notifications” as a WG?
A plausible common ground
- Notification delivery in the form of HTTP messages
- Events affecting HTTP resources
Monitoring Web resources is already done
- Link maintenance, price quotes, package tracking, …
Could use Protocol for Apps Generating Events & Responses to port such “polling applications”
- Subscribe to {Methods} X {Resources}
- Notifications when information of interest is generated
- For example, use with WebDAV for resource deletion, link modification, and property change updates
