      Description

      Event can be lost if produced while a response is being prepared. I've attached an example where a push event is used to refresh a count whenever an event is fired. It's using Thread.sleep to simulate an event being produced while the response is being prepared. Note, if the sleep just before returning the count is removed it all works fine, and the page is refreshed every 5 seconds, but with the sleep in place the event is lost.
