Hi, Given the overlap I perceive between Server Sent Events and the Web Sockets spec, I would be interested to know what role Server Sent Events fills that Web Sockets doesn't.
I understand that Server Sent Events allow for unidirectional communication with the server, while Web sockets is bidirectional, and SSE is purely HTTP-based, while Web sockets is made to switch to a lower level protocol, but this all points to SSE being a subset (feature-wise) of Web sockets. Is it only a question of timing? i.e. SSE filling the role of Web Sockets while Web Sockets is being finalized? Currently, the two documents don't reference each other at all; some clarification of their relationship in the specs themselves would be useful, I think. Thanks, Dom
