    In my case to avoid unnecessary traffic, especially for generated images.

    I can't tell how "smooth" your approach works. The push initiated update happens almost invisible.

      Probably, but logically it's a pull if you say it's initiated by the client.

        The client opens the connection, yes, but after that the connection stays open for a longer period of time and the server does indeed push its updates to the client. See for example Using server-sent events and how to implement them in Mojolicious.
