Sample depends on Express 2 code

[wangbus]

The package.json points to "latest" for express which is version 3. The createServer doesn't respond with an object can be used for SSE(app).

Solution:

Easy: Specify ~2.5.11 instead of latest.
More work: Change to express 3 syntax.

Any ideas on how to get it to work with Express 3? I can't seem to figure it out.

This, modified version of the express example in this repo, works on Express 3.x:

var http              = require('http'),
    express           = require('express'),
    sse               = require('../../'),
    app               = express(),

    port              = process.argv[2] ? process.argv[2] : 8000,
    docRoot           = './public';

app.configure(function() {
  app.use(express.static(docRoot));
});

var httpServer = http.createServer(app);

var sseServer = new sse(httpServer);

sseServer.on('connection', function(client) {
  var id = setInterval(function() {
    client.send(JSON.stringify(process.memoryUsage()));
  }, 100);
  console.log('started client interval');
  client.on('close', function() {
    console.log('stopping client interval');
    clearInterval(id);
  })
});

httpServer.listen(port);

I do have some extensive documentation plus an updated example with Express 3.x which is 99.9% done laying around. I'll try to fix the remaining 0.1% and get it into the master the next couple of days. Sorry for the delay.
