Rails Streaming not Streaming

Question

I am working on adding a streaming component to my rails application since I would like to start using SSE. I tried to get this to work in a smaller example, but I still have problems. I am having trouble getting rails in order to correctly send a response to a curl request. I follow the tutorial at http://tenderlovemaking.com/2012/07/30/is-it-live.html . I am not sure if there is something that I need to configure for OSX, or if something is missing in my configuration. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running this locally on OSX. When I run curl -i localhost:3000, I get the following response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-UA-Compatible: chrome=1
Content-Type: text/event-stream

  def index
    response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/event-stream'
    10.times {
      logger.info "hello world sent"
      response.stream.write "hello world\n"
      sleep 1

  # Print deprecation notices to the Rails logger.

Answer 3

SSE messages are separated by two new lines ( link ).

Your code should have:

response.stream.write "hello world\n\n"
