Thank you for this PR as well @elthariel.

We have actually decided to deprecate the long polling backup in favor of third party shims such as Flash Sockets. I mainly added it to support Heroku but they are now adding native WebSocket support so that use case is no longer in effect.

If you fix the tests I will merge it for now until I have time to officially remove support for it.

Removing the support for the HTTP adapter is going to clean up the implementation of the Connection class on the server and the JavaScript client significantly. The existing long polling never worked correctly in old versions of Internet Explorer anyways which was the only other real use case that I am aware of.
