Server-Sent Events / EventSource support? #112

Is this on the cards? Websockets are nice, but quite often one just wants to subscribe to a queue, and eventsource is somewhat nicer.

Hello Rui,

This is not currently planned. I am aware that Websockets have limitations and that the current implementation is incomplete, but I have little time to work on these new features. Contributions are welcome and encouraged.

Thanks. At the moment it's just simpler for me to add an EventSource wrapper to my existing server-side code, but if I find the time I'll look at the web socket code and try to trim it down into an EventSource option.
