[jira] [Created] (CXF-8545) Unable to connect to POST methods with SseEventSource

Timothy James Ward created CXF-8545:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Unable to connect to POST methods with SseEventSource
                 Key: CXF-8545
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8545
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: JAX-RS
    Affects Versions: 3.2.14
            Reporter: Timothy James Ward


The SseEventSource is primarily targeted at using HTTP GET requests to initiate the connection. It is extremely difficult to use a POST request instead.

POST requests are useful for when information (e.g. server side event filtering) needs to be passed in the request, but that information is too big for query parameters or it contains URL unsafe characters, or it is serialised using a Content-Type that can be decoded by JAX-RS body converters.

 

It should be simple enough to add a configuration property into the web target passed to the SseEventSource. This could map to a JAX-RS entity. If the entity is present then it is used as the body of the post. Otherwise a GET is used.
