From Chrome it is also working as far as I can see.
What maybe is hampering is the authorization ( check if you see in the developers tab a “No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘http://zzz’ is therefore not allowed access.” errors)
Putting very basic example in the html folder of openhab2 will give you results in a filtered way (replace with your item)
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>Getting server updates</h1> <div id="result"></div> <script> if(typeof(EventSource) !== "undefined") { var source = new EventSource("http://192.168.3.50:8080/rest/events?topics=smarthome/items/ReigerPowerAbsWd/state"); source.onmessage = function(event) { document.getElementById("result").innerHTML += event.data + "<br>"; }; } else { document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "Sorry, your browser does not support server-sent events..."; } </script> </body> </html>
