Fix #3275
There was an attempt to support SSE, but it broke HTTP POST.
#3153 added the following to the HTTP POST transport:
gqlgen/graphql/handler/transport/http_post.go
Lines 30 to 32 in 4157ef9
From a general HTTP point of view though, the
Accept
header is there to communicate which content types the client can understand, and indeed clients like javascript'surql
advertise that they can understand SSE, even when the server is only set up to support POST. The presence oftext/event-stream
in the client's accept header shouldn't mean that the request can't be served by HTTP POST.For instance, the javascript client
urql
, has this header hardcoded for every request:https://github.com/urql-graphql/urql/blob/b9f34fd19ee5f9022db4d2f9eb610943c787dac1/packages/core/src/internal/fetchOptions.ts#L149-L154
