how to send "a\rb" message over text/event-stream EventSource?

for "a\nb" the event-stream should be: "data: a\ndata: b\n\n", but
"\r" will be replaced by "\n" by current algorithm.

You cannot send a U+000D character using an event stream.

What's your use case for sending that character?
Comment 2 vic99999 2013-01-01 11:45:34 UTC 
seems, some additional encoding is required to pass it, and this is the only charcter, for which extra encoding is required
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-03-06 20:28:06 UTC 
It is, but unless there's a use case for actually sending it, that doesn't seem like a particularly serious problem.
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-03-25 23:59:49 UTC 
Marking NEEDSINFO; please re-open the bug if there's a use case I missed.
