Current spec for EventSource close method doesn't defined behaviour when close
called after 'onopen' or 'onmessage'.
For example, Google Chrome, closes connection if 'close' called while 'open'
method dispatching and Opera doen't close it.

How is it not defined?
Comment 2 vic99999 2011-09-13 16:26:31 UTC 
for example, event stream:

data: 1
data: 2
data: 3

code:

var es = new EventSource('stream');
es.addEventListener('open', function (event) {
  es.close();
}, false);

es.addEventListener('message', function (event) {
  alert(event.data);
  es.close();
}, false);

You will see different behavior for Chrome and Opera

>> The close() method must close the connection, if any; must abort any reconnection attempt, if any; and must set the readyState attribute to CLOSED. If the connection is already closed, the method must do nothing.
Sorry, didn't notice it in draft.
