This will block waiting for an incoming event, timing out after several seconds.

A client should repeatedly make requests with the "from" query parameter with

the value of "end" (in this case "215").

the value of "end" (in this case "215"). This value should be stored so when the

client reopens your app after a period of inactivity, you can resume from where

you got up to in the event stream. If it has been a long period of inactivity,

there may be LOTS of events waiting for you. In this case, you may wish to get
|

all state instead and then resume getting live state from a newer end token.
|

|

NB: The timeout can be changed by adding a "timeout" query parameter, which is
|
||||
in milliseconds. A timeout of 0 will not block.
