Hi there

I’m currently developing a small webapp using Phoenix to send mails to a bunch of contacts. In there I wanted to use a channel to update the send status (i.e. how many mails have already been sent etc). However when I gave this a try using only long polling, I get this error message every time I try to do a broadcast:

[error] GenServer #PID<0.660.0> terminating

Note that sending the message using a websocket works perfectly, this is just happening when trying to do a long poll. Is this a legitimate bug, or am I missing something regarding how longpolling is implemented?

Thanks a lot
