Helpers and Functions

HTTP

• Added SSEResponse class for streaming Server-Sent Events (SSE) over HTTP. See :ref:`server-sent-events`.

• Response and its child classes no longer require Config\App passed to their constructors.

  Consequently, CURLRequest's $config parameter is unused and will be removed in a future release.
