Abstract:
1. A method of notifying a communications device in a network, comprising: sending an http push request from a communications device through a network to a computing device, the http push request having a first lifespan; receiving a timeout error from the network; and sending a second http push request from the communications device through the network to the computing device, the second http push request having a second lifespan which is less than the first lifespan, wherein, prior to the second sending step, a calculating step is performed in which the lifespan of the second http push request is calculated by way of a quick convergence algorithm, and wherein the calculating step includes multiplying the value of the Current Timeout (CTO) by the number of times the communications device has consecutively received a timeout error at a given value of the CTO.
