At risk of derailing this thread... The major drawback is the abuse of HTTP. SSE assumes that there is a clean channel between the origin and the client, without any intermediary that could alter the timing of packet delivery. That assumption has been proven false in a great many deployments. For instance, SSE fails where there is a virus-scanning intermediary. Those buffer HTTP entities so that they can verify that they are clean. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/push-api/issues/104#issuecomment-69793701
