POST to PHP with server sent events?

Question

Is it possible to use SSE to send POST data to PHP like in Ajax?

I've been using AJAX now for quite a while with bad results in long-polling technicues. I have also been thinking about WebSockets, but it seems a bit redundant.

Answer 1

No, SSE cannot send any data to the server.

You can still use SSE to read data in real time and use AJAX to upload any data (you might need a shared database to pass information between AJAX-receiving processes and SSE-sending one).
