So I understand the concept of server-sent events ( EventSource ): A client connects to an endpoint via EventSource Client just listens to messages sent from the endpoint The thing I'm confused about is how it works on the server. I've had a look at different examples, but the one that comes to mind is Mozilla's: http://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/06/a-wall-powered-by-eventsource-and-server-sent-events/ Now this may be just a bad example, but it kinda makes sense how the server side would work, as I understand it: Something changes in a datastore, such as a database A server-side script polls the datastore every Nth second If the polling script notices a change, a server-sent event is fired to the clients Does that make sense? Is that really how it works from a barebones perspective?
