Server-sent events aren't working anymore on Azure

[oliverheilig]

The ASP server-sent events stopped working on Azure both the dashing demo http://dashingdotnet.azurewebsites.net/ and the original HTML5 push sample http://techbrij.com/real-time-chart-html5-push-sse-asp-net-web-api. We’ve had a similar problem that writing the response in chunks is somehow blocked by the new Azure load balancer. I guess the only fix for this would to use another messaging mechanism (SignalR?)

Had the same problem.
I fixed it by adding this to my web.config

<handlers>
  <!-- Indicates that the server.js file is a node.js site to be handled by the iisnode module -->
  <add name="iisnode" path="index.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" responseBufferLimit="0" />
</handlers>

@spiritinlife that fix worked for me as well.

I'm having this issue, fixing web.config didn't worked for me.

Any ideas on a work around or at least the reason?

Thanks!
