I am trying to get the changes feed working using the Event Source method.
Here is the example from the docs
<http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/api/database/changes.html>:
// define the event handling function
> if (window.EventSource) {
> var source = new EventSource("/somedatabase/_changes?feed=eventsource");
>
> var results = [];
> var sourceListener = function(e) {
> var data = JSON.parse(e.data);
> results.push(data);
> };
> // start listening for events
> source.addEventListener('message', sourceListener, false);
> // stop listening for events
> source.removeEventListener('message', sourceListener, false);
> }
When I work up something similar, I get the following error message:
EventSource's response has a MIME type ("text/plain") that is not
"text/event-stream". Aborting the connection.
*So I believe I need to tell the changes feed to use "text/event-stream"
instead of "text/plain". How is that done?*
In this case I am working from the browser, passing the url in the
EventSource constructor:
var source = new EventSource("/somedatabase/_changes?feed=eventsource");
Thank you,
Pete
