Network.Wai.EventSource

Description

A WAI adapter to the HTML5 Server-Sent Events API.

If running through a proxy like Nginx you might need to add the headers:

[ ("X-Accel-Buffering", "no"), ("Cache-Control", "no-cache")]

There is a small example using these functions in the example directory.
