push_stream_ping_message_interval (eventsource) #187

The above directive does not seem to work with eventsource. Is this correct ? We do not get ping message on the subscriber side when this directive is set in eventsource mode. Thanks.

While using eventsource connections the ping message is just a comment, something like ":-1". This way, the connection is kept open due traffic but the client is not notified of a "new message". You can check this doing a connection with curl command as example.
