""" A chatroom that will hold client connections open forever and stream messages in real-time. This example demonstrates how you can setup a request handler to return a Deferred object instead of plain text/bytes. The deferred will wait for an event to trigger it (in this case, a new message being posted to the /submit endpoint), and at that point it will send the data to the client. An error callback is also added to the deferred object, which will be triggered if the client closes the connection prematurely. This demo requires a gemini client that can stream text to the user without waiting for the whole request to complete first. The jetforce-client tool can do this, but most other gemini clients probably won't be able to handle streaming.
