Hi,
I am trying to see what AJAX calls its trying to make, cant see a thing in the networks tab of Chrome brower.

Hard to say from here. You can try going a level lower, run something like "tcpdump" on your machine and just watch what's going on. Might provide you some insight into the inner workings.
I believe they are using some chrome only feature, perhaps direct tcp connections?
