Consuming an HTTP stream on google appengine

I am trying to consume an http stream using GAE.

the logical flow is {source1..N} --> [GAE] --> browser reporting & display

As I understand it, an HTTP stream will run forever, so a simple GET-process cycle won't work. Can anyone recommend an alternative approach that will work in the GAE model?

I'm not sure what your requirement is but maybe you could look at the Channels API? So instead of having a continuous stream open, you could send updates from your app to a subscribing browser.
