How can I change the source set in declaration of EventSource?
I have tried something like this:
var source = new EventSource("/blahblah.php?path=" + (window.location.pathname));
// Few lines later...
source.url = "/blahblah.php?path=" + url;
But, source.url stays the same...
Is this even possible? Or maybe there are alternative ways to do that?

Reset to default 5No, it is not possible. A new URL passed to EventSource() creates a new EventSource object.
I Do it like this.
var source;
function ChangeEventSource(Url) {
if (source != undefined) {source.close(); }
if (typeof (EventSource) !== "undefined") {
source = new EventSource(Url);
source.onmessage = function (event) {
//Do something here
};
} else {
console.log("Sorry, your browser does not support server-sent events...");
}
}
