Server-sent events (SSE)

[msan]

Instead of constantly and frequently polling the API, I would like to receive automatic updates from Robonect via HTTP connection. Maybe Server-sent events (SSE) is already implemented in Robonect?

Server-sent events is a standard describing how servers can initiate data transmission towards clients once an initial client connection has been established. They are commonly used to send message updates or continuous data streams to a browser client and designed to enhance native, cross-browser streaming through a JavaScript API called EventSource, through which a client requests a particular URL in order to receive an event stream.

I strongly miss this feature. Maybe something similar already has been developed to supply the Robonect Android App with a stream of data. Pure speculation though...

i would love to have Support for websocket.
In stead of opening and closing single requests a websocket is a dual directional pipe saving resources in both ends.
