I've fixed the other thing though. 57798 3 contributor 2011-10-04 19:58:40 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r6624. Check-in comment: Rephrase how EventSource is protected from garbage collection to make more sense. Note that EventSource objects are allowed to survive the bfcache (unlike, say, WebSocket connections). http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=6623&to=6624
