I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. SSEs are just normal GET requests with a custom header and some formal logic around retries. I've even implemented them manually with PHP using the `retry` command to mean I don't need to have the connection open for longer than a normal pageload.

> The main reason, why I dropped SSE it the lack of proper back pressure, i.e. what happens when a consumes slower than the server produces messages.

Could you point me to where the spec handles this please? As far as I can tell it has the same problem of the server needing to buffer events until the client next connects
