Can you elaborate?

@tsegismont I guess @ruben-caceiro-digiwest means HTTP text even streaming a.k.a Server-Side Events. If so then Vertx already support it as part of its full HTTP compatibility. We just need correct header and mark response as chunked.

vertx.createHttpServer().requestHandler(req -> {
      if ("/sse".equals(req.path())) {
        req.response()
          .putHeader("Content-Type", "text/event-stream")
          .setChunked(true);

        vertx.setPeriodic(1000, id ->
          req.response().write("data: hello\n\n")
        );
      } else {
        req.response().end("Go to /sse");
      }
    }).listen(8080);

Yes, I don't have any util function to send or receive sse events through vertx, basically
