It would be possible to make a 1x1pixel SVG Graphic that connects 50 times per second to a server. I made an example that tracks all user actions (all mouse movements) and sends this with postURL to *my* server. My Webserver was overloaded with one client. If you don't restrict the network connection this could become a real problem for servers from yahoo, amazon, microsoft,... It would be easy to overload all the servers somebody don't like. ------ If the network connection is restricted you can write server based applications that do all this network protocols and communicate over an XML protocol with the client.
