EventSource polyfill - http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/
- IE 8+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 6+, Safari 5+, Opera 12+
- It works on Mobile Safari, Android Browser, Opera Mobile, Chrome for Android, Firefox for Android
- Simple server-side code
- Cross-domain requests support ("withCredentials" is not supported in IE8-IE9)
- "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 two kilobyte padding for IE at the top of the response stream
- You need to send "comment" messages each 15-30 seconds, this messages will be used as heartbeat to detect disconnects - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444328
