Its `EventTarget` dispatches `on` handler properties itself, on top of the `addEventListener` call our `on*` setters make, so those handlers fire more than once, assigning `null` only removes one registration, and they fire ahead of listeners registered before them ([cloudflare/workerd#6022](https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/issues/6022)). The two `on*` tests that register a single handler and check that it fired are unaffected and run normally. - **happy-dom**, the four cross-origin redirect tests. It does not strip `Authorization` when a request is redirected to a different origin, as [the fetch spec requires](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-redirect-fetch). +For Safari/WebKit, skip only the non-ASCII `Last-Event-ID` round-trip cases. Keep the Unicode parsing and header-construction assertions active. Document this limitation in the README. + The per-runtime message pattern in the extended-properties test is the other place runtimes differ: a refused connection is reported as `fetch failed` on Node, `connect ECONNREFUSED …` under happy-dom, `Network connection lost.` on workerd, and something different again in each browser engine. That one is only wording, so the pattern accepts all of them. The browser suite is the one place where the endpoints are not served by a standalone server. Vitest serves the test page from its own Vite server, so the endpoints are mounted onto that same server (`test/helpers/ssePlugin.ts`) to keep the page and the endpoints same-origin. Serving them separately would make every request cross-origin and silently change what the CORS, cookie and redirect tests actually assert. diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 24d348b..0f56036 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ npm install --save eventsource - Node.js >= 22.12 - Chrome >= 84 -- Safari >= 15 +- Safari >= 15 ([non-ASCII event ID limitation](#safari-and-webkit)) - Firefox >= 105 - Edge >= 84 - Deno >= 2 @@ -98,6 +98,12 @@ error TS2304: Cannot find name 'EventTarget'. error TS2304: Cannot find name 'MessageEvent'. ``` +### Safari and WebKit + +Safari/WebKit encodes non-ASCII `Last-Event-ID` header values as UTF-8 a second time, so the server receives a different ID on reconnect.
