This isn't an issue with the WebSocket and XMLHttpRequest API's, as those interfaces already require one to implement an event passing scheme on top, making it trivial to replace the underlying WebSocket or XMLHttpRequest. While such a scheme could also be implemented on top of EventSource, it seems silly to stack an different event source scheme on top of something called "EventSource".

This doesn't seem particularly burdensome... 71424 2 ian 2012-07-25 02:50:20 +0000 People have suggested we change the model here, so I'll have a look to see how to do that. 71884 3 ian 2012-08-07 18:03:12 +0000 *** Bug 18320 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 75896 4 contributor 2012-10-10 23:03:38 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7450.
