// This module implements the server side of `Server Sent Events`.
// See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events#event_stream_format
// as well as https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/server-sent-events.html#server-sent-events
// for detailed description of the protocol, and a simple web browser client example.
//
// > Event stream format
// > The event stream is a simple stream of text data which must be encoded using UTF-8.
// > Messages in the event stream are separated by a pair of newline characters.
// > A colon as the first character of a line is in essence a comment, and is ignored.
// > Note: The comment line can be used to prevent connections from timing out;
// > a server can send a comment periodically to keep the connection alive.
// >
// > Each message consists of one or more lines of text listing the fields for that message.
// > Each field is represented by the field name, followed by a colon, followed by the text
// > data for that field's value.
