Question is about Django StreamingHttpResponse in async Django views. Look here for more details.

How to use it:

Run Django web-server using Daphne:

daphne -b 0.0.0.0 -p 8000 webapp.webapp.asgi:application

NOTE: I have 2 levels folder, but this is just because copy-paste from my test project. In yours it still can be sse_demo.asgi:application

Run script to check view:

python test_stream.py

Sync:

Uncomment line in test_stream.py:

r = requests.get('http://localhost:8000/sse', stream=True)

ASync:

Uncomment line in test_stream.py:

r = requests.get('http://localhost:8000/sse_async', stream=True)
