Server Sent Event for Plugins

[2547techno]

With the recent addition of network capabilities for plugins, real-time events would also be nice.

My thought was that SSE would be a lot easier to implement rather than WebSockets, but WebSockets could still be a future goal.

The interface being something like: HTTPRequest:on_message(callback) and maybe an HTTPRequest:on_close(callback) if its needed

WebSockets are just plain better and we already have them (in Chatterino not in the plugins API)

I see, are there already plans to introduce it to plugins that I missed?

I would want WS for plugins however it's quite a bit of work. I also need to fix the asynchronous crashes I am dealing with.

ah ok, that's fair
