EventSource Polyfill
JSON →A polyfill implementing the W3C EventSource (Server-Sent Events) API for browsers that lack native support. Current stable version is 1.0.31. It fills gaps in older browsers like IE 10+ (XDomainRequest for IE 8-9 with limitations), Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 3+, Safari 4+, and Opera 12+. Key differentiators: cross-domain support, custom headers, and configurable last-event-id parameter. The README strongly discourages use ("Please do not use this shitty library!") due to quality concerns, but the package remains actively maintained for legacy compatibility.
