Server-sent event

Server sent event supports the server push from server to browser only.

In Javascript

var sse = null;

function runNow() {
    if (!sse) {
        sse = new EventSource('/sse_stream');

        sse.addEventListener('message',
            function (e) {
                document.getElementById('lbl1').innerText = e.data;
            });

    }
}

function stop() {
    if (sse) {
        sse.close();
        sse = null;
    }
}
