Yes, since IE7 is out of the game long-polling is no longer needed.

Comet-stream and SSE will save you alot of bandwidth and CPU!!!

What is particular about IE7? According to https://caniuse.com/eventsource, SSE is unsupported through IE11.

You don't need to use Event-Source to use SSE, look at how I implemented it here:

The XHR ready state 3 was wrongly implemented in IE7, they fixed it in IE8.
