Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback.

Someone sent me this message:

	Do a search for pushlets, or alternatively 
	I think the generic technology  might be 
	called comet. Basically the server sends 
	streaming XML or JavaScript, with an 
	occasional heartbeat pulse/element to 
	keep the connection alive.

That sounded promising. I did a search for "pushlets" and found this site with example pushlets:

http://www.pushlets.com/pushlet/examples/pushlet.html

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have a pushlet that emits XML-formatted data.

Is there a web site that emits a continuous stream of XML-formatted time-and-temperature data? That is, when I connect to the web site it returns the root element, a location, and the current time and temperature:

<TimeAndTemperature>
      <Location>Boston</Location>
      <Weather>
	<Time>2014-05-22T05:22:10Z</Temperature>
	<Temperature>51 degrees Fahrenheit</Temperature>
      </Weather>

One second later the web site sends the second <Weather> element: 

      <Weather>
	<Time>2014-05-22T05:22:11Z</Temperature>
	<Temperature>51 degrees Fahrenheit</Temperature>
      </Weather>

One second later the web site sends the third <Weather> element: 

      <Weather>
	<Time>2014-05-22T05:22:12Z</Temperature>
	<Temperature>51 degrees Fahrenheit</Temperature>
      </Weather>

The web site continues to send a <Weather> element every second until I disconnect.

Does such a web site exist?
