A very cool HTML5 Feature, Server-Sent Event.


I am working on migrating a Flex application to HTML5. This application opens a Flash Socket to the server to be able to have a constant communication between the server and client. During the design I immediately though about WebSocket, nice… problem solved. One characteristic of this connection is that I only need it to send update events from the server to the client, I will never execute a transaction from the client using this channel, then I discovered this new HTML5 feature, Server Events. It very similar to WebSocket but its only one way communication.
