Discussion on: Server Sent Events are still not production ready after a decade. A lesson for me, a warning for you!

It's a very good point. We serve HTTP/2 (via AWS Cloud Front). Now what the client browser is getting I don't know - yet. I'll report back if I find any more information there.

Did you get the insights on this? For my application SSE seems a very good fit, but your story put me on guard.

If by forcing a HTTPS connection (which by now should be widely acceptable, if not flat out the default for normal everyday applications) this issue is mitigated, then that is valuable knowledge to add to the equation here..

Sjoerd82 in your experience, assuming you force HTTPS, has SSE been stable for you?

I would also like to know whether HTTPS solves the issue. Thank you.
