Server-side Data Feed

Does anyone know how to create/develop a server-side data feed?

Usually, we're concerned with receiving a data feed on the client-side.

I had an intellectual curiousity to create a server-side data feed that delivers data every 5 minutes.

Does anyone know how that is done? Sockets programming? Broadcast?

Hey Bloomfield,

I don't think there is any 1 specific way to do it, but personally I would setup a server to broadcast, via a UDP MultiCast Socket, data every (n) time offset across the local network. This way, any computer that is listening can just receive the data as it comes out.

That is what I thought -- UDP Multicast socket.

Could be a fun little internal project.
