Example on implementing HTML5 Server Side Event in Rails 3.2

I am trying to introduce HTML5 Server-Side-Event to my Rails 3.2 project. I did some search at Google.com, but most of the examples are using php. There's only one example on Rails that is using Goliath, and I am not using that.

I am using Thin in my development and deploying with passenger. I think it's valid for doing text streaming for SSE. Is there any examples on Rails 3.2 for reference?

Rails 4.0 is implementing SSE, upgrading your rails and implementing SSE via rails 4.0 ActiveController::Live is probably the best option.

Otherwise you may be stuck with a less stable/performant/maintained option such as Juggernaut or other frameworks.

This isn't exactly HTML 5 Server Side Events but it is a tried and true method to accomplish essentially the same. To push from the server to the client, in the past a lot of people including myself have used the Juggernaut gem (https://github.com/maccman/juggernaut - runs on top of node.js). A little different than Server Side Events but perhaps more time tested. The gem is still being updated it seems.
