Hi,  
I used [https://flows.nodered.org/node/@ekaralis/node-red-contrib-sse-plus](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@ekaralis/node-red-contrib-sse-plus) to create server side of SSE.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to create a listener?  
I tried to replicate a curl command through http node but I fail to get output. Experiment with npm eventsource also failed.  
In Python implementation is easy thanks to SSE client.py

Any thoughts?

Hi Eelco (@Eelco) ,

Haven’t seen your question on this forum, until this evening. Just [announced](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-contrib-sse-client/1025) a new contribution, that might be of any help in your case. If you have any feedback about it please let me know in that other discussion.

Kind regards,
