We already have support for Server Sent DOM Events. This was done in {{bug|338583}} and security review happened in [[Security/Reviews/Firefox6/ReviewNotes/ServerDomEvents|ServerDomEvents]] | |||
The goal of this feature is to allow cross-site pushing of server sent events. For example allowing a bank site to push events that keep you up-to-date with your portfolio, or facebook pushing an event stream containing updates to your wall. http://pulse.mozilla.org/ has also expressed desire to use this to allow other sites to consume and visualize data concerning the mozilla project. | The goal of this feature is to allow cross-site pushing of server sent events.
