Server-sent events not supported?

[caub]

the following code http://pastie.org/private/esae5stq8jxw1lioo8vclq
works if you gave 2 browsers on 127.0.0.1:8000/notify
and execute

source = new EventSource('/events');
source.onmessage = function(e) {
    console.log(e.data);
};

in the console of one, then refresh the other

but on 127.0.0.1/notify the proxying blocks server sent events

[caub]

more simply
just one browser to 127.0.0.1:8000/notify

source = new EventSource('/events');

source.readyState prints 0 (connecting), as expected

then 127.0.0.1/notify
source.readyState prints 2 (closed)

Were you ever able to find a solution to this?

[caub]

no, but anyway websocket does the job

[afterthought]

This is an issue for us too!!!!!

If this is still a problem for people, open a new issue. This seems like a candidate for a separate module
