HTTP Requests VS Websockets?

Would both methods be good for a turn based game?


I know that websockets provide more of a "real-time" experience but that's not very important to me. I just want to make sure my server doesn't crash with all the HTTP Requests (assuming my game is moderately popular). Currently testing on a basic webserver.

The issue with websockets is that I don't think it is supported by Stencyl and the Extension seems old. I would be concerned that support for the extension is dropped... Does anyone have any insight that might help me make a decision when it comes to online turn based? Thanks 

Hey.
You can look at this:

Perhaps this may help.

To reduce the load on the server, it is better to use ws.

Thanks for the link! Hadn't seen this yet, looks very interesting. Definitely going to look into it! Much appreciated!
