The latest interop data Zhiqiang generated for Server-sent Events [All]
indicates 102/124 passes and [<2] isolates the 22 failures with less
than two implementations including 9 failures which are due to Web IDL
implementation bugs (thus, not counting the WebIDL failures the pass
rate is 111/124 or ~90%).
The non Web IDL failures are:
1.
http://www.w3c-test.org/eventsource/dedicated-worker/eventsource-constructor-non-same-origin.htm
2.
http://www.w3c-test.org/eventsource/shared-worker/eventsource-constructor-non-same-origin.htm
3. http://www.w3c-test.org/eventsource/format-field-retry-bogus.htm
My take on these failures is:
#1 and #2 test the UA's error handling of URLs that cannot be resolved
(f.ex. unsupported URL scheme, URL doesn't exist). The failures appear
to be relatively low priority implementation bugs (see [Bug119974]) that
seem unlikely to occur in a tested deployment.
#3 tests the UA's handling of invalid data value for the retry
(constructor) parameter. This test actually now passes when I run it on
FF beta 34.0 so it should be removed from [<2]. Regardless, the failure
appears to be a relatively low priority implementation bug that seems
unlikely to occur in a tested deployment.
As such, this is Call for Consensus to publish SSE as a Proposed
Recommendation. If you have any comments or concerns about this CfC,
please reply to this e-mail by November 28 at the latest. Positive
response is preferred and encouraged, and silence will be considered as
agreement with the proposal.
The [ED] has changed since the [CR] was published (see [Diff]) so this
proposal assumes that if/when there is a resource commitment to include
changes on the TR track, that will be done separately.
