I had previously used SSE in a project and had no idea it existed or that it was widely supported by most browsers. It's a beautiful and straightforward technology, but it doesn't seem to be as widely used as it should be, and more tooling is required. Also more tooling is required.

- mromanuk 5y agoThat’s the beauty, the client just do a normal HTTP request. It really simplify the system.
- 0xcoffee 5y ago100% onboard with better tooling. Starting with out of the box swagger support: https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/396 https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/396 Shame they are not interested in adding it.
- masklinn 5y agoThe really huge issue with SSE, and the reason why it’s historically been dismissed, is that it us subject to (and counts towards) the HTTP 1.1 domain connection limit. Sadly that makes it a bit of a pain in the ass to manage for sites served as (/ compatible with) http 1.1.
