EventSource polyfill - http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/
========================================================

Installing:
-----------

You can get the code from npm or bower:

```
npm install event-source-polyfill
```

```
bower install event-source-polyfill
```

Just include `eventsource.js` or `eventsource.min.js` in your page to use the polyfill.


Browser support:
----------------

* IE 10+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 3+, Safari 4+, Opera 12+
* IE 8 - IE 9: XDomainRequest is used internally, which has some limitations (2KB padding is requried, no way to send cookies, no way to use client certificates)
* It works on Mobile Safari, Opera Mobile, Chrome for Android, Firefox for Android
* It does not work on: Android Browser(requires 4 KB padding), Opera Mini

Advantages:
-----------

* Simple server-side code
* Cross-domain requests support

Server-side requirements:
-------------------------

* "Last-Event-ID" is sent in a query string (CORS + "Last-Event-ID" header is not supported by all browsers)
* It is required to send 2 KB padding for IE < 10 and Chrome < 13 at the top of the response stream
* You need to send "comment" messages each 15-30 seconds, these messages will be used as heartbeat to detect disconnects - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444328

Specification:
--------------

* http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/

Build:
------

* To build EventSource, just install npm modules (`npm install`) and then run the build (`npm run build`). It should generate a new version of eventsource.min.js.

Notes:
-----
 * If you are using HTTP Basic Authentication, you can embed credentials into the URL - `http://username:password@github.com`.

EXAMPLE
-------



server-side (node.js)
---------------------

```javascript
var PORT = 8081;

var http = require("http");
var fs = require("fs");
var url = require("url");

http.createServer(function (request, response) {
  var parsedURL = url.parse(request.url, true);
  var pathname = parsedURL.pathname;
  if (pathname === "/events.php") {

    response.writeHead(200, {
      "Content-Type": "text/event-stream",
      "Cache-Control": "no-cache",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
    });

    var padding = new Array(2049);
    response.write(":" + padding.join(" ") + "\n"); // 2kB padding for IE
    response.write("retry: 2000\n");

    var lastEventId = Number(request.headers["last-event-id"]) || Number(parsedURL.query.lastEventId) || 0;

    var timeoutId = 0;
    var i = lastEventId;
    var c = i + 100;
    var f = function () {
      if (++i < c) {
        response.write("id: " + i + "\n");
        response.write("data: " + i + "\n\n");
        timeoutId = setTimeout(f, 1000);
      } else {
        response.end();
      }
    };

    f();

    response.on("close", function () {
      clearTimeout(timeoutId);
    });

  } else {
    if (pathname === "/") {
      pathname = "/index.html";
    }
    if (pathname === "/index.html" || pathname === "../eventsource.js") {
      response.writeHead(200, {
        "Content-Type": pathname === "/index.html" ? "text/html" : "text/javascript"
      });
      response.write(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + pathname));
    }
    response.end();
  }
}).listen(PORT);
```

or use PHP (see php/events.php)
-------------------------------
```php
<?php

  header("Content-Type: text/event-stream");
  header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
  header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");

  $lastEventId = floatval(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_LAST_EVENT_ID"]) ? $_SERVER["HTTP_LAST_EVENT_ID"] : 0);
  if ($lastEventId == 0) {
    $lastEventId = floatval(isset($_GET["lastEventId"]) ? $_GET["lastEventId"] : 0);
  }

  echo ":" . str_repeat(" ", 2048) . "\n"; // 2 kB padding for IE
  echo "retry: 2000\n";

  // event-stream
  $i = $lastEventId;
  $c = $i + 100;
  while (++$i < $c) {
    echo "id: " . $i . "\n";
    echo "data: " . $i . ";\n\n";
    ob_flush();
    flush();
    sleep(1);
  }

?>
```

index.html (php/index.html):
----------------------------
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>EventSource example</title>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <script src="../eventsource.js"></script>
    <script>
      var es = new EventSource("events.php");
      var listener = function (event) {
        var div = document.createElement("div");
        var type = event.type;
        div.appendChild(document.createTextNode(type + ": " + (type === "message" ? event.data : es.url)));
        document.body.appendChild(div);
      };
      es.addEventListener("open", listener);
      es.addEventListener("message", listener);
      es.addEventListener("error", listener);
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
