For those who don't know what Faye is, its a PubSub server built on top of the Bayeux/Comet protocol. http://faye.jcoglan.com/

Right now only supporting websocket transport but have plans to add long polling support soon too. Just refactored the library so this would be easier to do now

Great to see this! We are implementing a Bayeux server and will have to try it out.

that's awesome! What language/environment are you guys building the Bayeux server for? Link? Would love to help out if possible. I helped implement part of this with my ex-colleage/friend https://github.com/pcrawfor/fayego Also feel free to open any issues/pull-requests on the swift library :)

Our Bayeux server is written in python, which sits behind our general-purpose realtime server called Pushpin ( https://github.com/fanout/pushpin ). Pushpin is written in a combination of C++ and python.

The Bayeux code itself is not public, but this may change in the future after I make the project more presentable. I'll let you know when it's live on our cloud service if you want to try testing your client with it. Should happen in the next day or so, hopefully.
