Hello folks,
Are they any reasons to not have the EventSource interface available in
a WorkerGlobalScope?
The W3C specifies that they must be no interface objects and
constructors in this scope [1], and the MDN documentation confirms that
[2]. Indeed, the EventSource interface [3] has no DOM-related impact
(e.g. it never uses document or window) and it could be useful to
receive events from server-side in a Worker.
Moreover, I don't see any particular technical reason that coud be blocking.
Thoughts?
Best regards.
