Has anyone ever tried implementing server-sent events by using libcurl. server-sent events is a technology to push asynchronous data to HTTP Client, whenever server is available with the data.

I am planning to do it, but in case anyone has tried it, it will be very helpful for me.

Well, for a server to suddenly be able to send data over HTTP to a client, the client must be already waiting for that data to come. It means "long-polling" so that the client basically waits for data non-stop.

I think as standard libcurl does not support it, so I might need to do some changes in the library locally and compile it again.

I don't know about that. What particular details aren't supported you say?
