Use Koa for Server-Sent Events

After having implemented SSE with Express I wanted to do the same with Koa like so:



const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');

const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();

router.get('/stream', (ctx, next) =>
ctx.set(
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
Connection: 'Keep-Alive',
);

const id = new Date().toLocaleTimeString();
ctx.res.write(`id: $id'n`);
ctx.res.write(`data: CONNECTION ESTABLISHED)nn`);
next();
});

app.use(router.routes());

app.listen(8080, () =>
console.log('Listening on port 8080');
);


And for my client, in a React component's constructor:



constructor(props) 
super(props);

this.state =
source: new EventSource("http://localhost:8080/stream"),
;



But for some reason, I received the following error message client-side:




Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at http://localhost:8080/stream.




Even though my client's request to /stream does go through (but no answer is sent back).



What could be causing this problem with the SSE connection?



I have a Koa server listening on a given port, a route to catch the initial GET request with the correct header data and yet it fails.
