Ajax IM ("Asynchronous Javascript And Xml Instant Messenger") is a browser-based instant messaging client. It uses the XMLHTTPRequest object in JavaScript to send and receive commands to and from the server. No refreshing of the page is ever needed for this "web application" to work, as everything is updated in real-time via JavaScript.
Ajax IM 3.41 is based on client-side JavaScript and PHP. Ajax IM 4.0 is a "from the ground up" rewrite that uses client-side JavaScript and Node.js (server-side JavaScript). Ajax IM 4.0 does not use PHP now.
Ajax IM 3.41 is made available here because there is still interest in this older code and it is the basis for some code forks (e.g. ajaximrpg). It is useful for reference.
