HTML5/websockets/javascript based real-time logfile viewer?
===

Im looking for the equivalent of "tail -f" that runs in a browser using html5 or javascript. 

A solution would need a client side code written in HTML5/websockets/javascript and a back-end server side application. Im looking for one in c# but i'm willing to rewrite it from php or python.


This is the only thing that i've seen that comes close is

However, modern browsers have WebSockets which makes the problem much simpler.

Ideally, I would like to have some of the capabilities of BareTail

Such as Color Coding of lines, sorting and multi-file tabbing.

I have located a similar posting where someone is looking for windows based log file programs

Anyone have any suggestions?
