Yes, I do have the Server under construction for it, another party is
building that Server, and it will be based on this concept only. And it says
that *"In contrast to long polling the HTTP response message (body) will not
be closed after sending an event to the client. If an event occurs on the
server-side, the server will write this event to the open response message
body. The HTTP response message body represents a unidirectional event
stream to the client."

So how can this be done by HTTP, and if it is possibel to have teh response
stream open, will Curl supports it?
