In an effort to build an Haskell client library for the Firebase service [0], which rely heavily on HTTP event source/server sent events [1], I am looking for an HTTP client lib supporting this spec.
AFAIK, both WAI and yesod handle the mechanism server-side but nor http-client, wreq or http-streams seem to provide the client counterpart.
Am I looking in the wrong direction?
At least http-client and http-streams should support this use case easily,
you'll just have to parse the stream yourself. The easiest way is to write
a parser using attoparsec and lift that into a stream transformer. The
io-streams library has native support for this (
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/io-streams-1.3.0.0/docs/System-IO-Streams...),
conduits supply a similar thing in the conduit-extra package.
