[SOLVED] HTTP-Kit streaming and curl

HTTP-Kit streaming and curl

I tried out the basic example for HTTP streaming of HTTP-Kit (http://www.http-kit.org/server.html#async), but if I curl to the endpoint I get all the messages at once, after the connection is closed (instead of getting them every 200ms, as it works in the browser). What's going on?

I also tried it like this:

    (schedule-task (* id 200) ;; send a message every 200ms
                   (send! channel
                          {:status 200
                           :headers {"Content-Type" "text/event-stream"
                                     "Connection" "keep-alive"}
                           :body (str "message from server #" id)}
                          false)) ; false => don't close after send

The behaviour is the same.

Solution

Seems to be an issue with curl and Streaming http. According to this post, the order of options is important

Also, try using the -N, --no-buffer option
