sgcWebSockets Pusher client has been improved on 4.5.3 version, the HTTP API has been implemented allowing to trigger events, get users of a channel and get a list of channels.
Pusher is a hosted WebSockets solution for building powerful realtime interactive apps. The sgcWebSockets client allows to use the following pusher channels:
- Public Channels: can be subscribed to by anyone who knows their name.
- Private Channels: they introduce a mechanism which lets your server control access to the data you are broadcasting.
- Presence Channels: are an extension of private channels. They let you 'register' user information on subscription, and let other members of the channel know who's online
