Server-Sent Events

Server-Sent Events can be used by web applications or web sites to setup a uni-directional (one-way) communication channel over a single TCP connection.

You can use it for push notifications from a server to a browser client. Server-Sent Events sometimes provide an alternative to usages of Ajax, HTTP Long Polling or Comet.

In the browser you can use Server-Sent Events via the EventSource API . This API belongs to HTML5 and is standardized by the W3C: http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/

ZAP is able to:

  • intercept and show Server-Sent Events

Server-Sent Events are displayed within the Server-Sent Events tab.
