Project: CometD
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java-server, javascript-common

Simone Bordet resolved COMETD-272.
----------------------------------

Assignee: Simone Bordet
Fix Version/s: 2.4.2
Resolution: Won't Fix

Server-Send Events only travel from server to client, so the client would have to open a new connection every time it wants to send a message to the server, say in connects or publishes.
This makes the transport heavier than HTTP and WebSocket due to the cost of connection opening, so probably it's not worth.

Jetty has an implementation of SSE at https://github.com/jetty-project/jetty-eventsource-servlet.
