EventSource sends all events over a single connection which it keeps open indefinitely. This shim receives a single event and then reconnects. In that window there is a period where there will be no connection to send events over, so they will be lost without a queue.

Edit: actually this looks to be a lot more sophisticated than the other shims i havr looked at and does indeed behave more like eventsource. Good job!

Ah, you're suggesting that the shims use long-polling. I don't think that's the case though. If I understand the library correctly, it really is keeping a connection open, so it's really very similar to the way EventSource works.

Addition: Verified. It doesn't disconnect between events (not long-polling).
