Seems like a sensible feature to add

We should also cleanup

  /**
   * TODO description.
   *
   * No further calls to this listener will be made.
   */
  open fun onClosed(eventSource: EventSource) {
  }

hi, can we have this feature?

[yschimke]

It's not currently in development, or confirmed on the near term roadmap. Sorry.

I don't think OkHttp should support this. We don't automatically reconnect any persistent or long-lived connection as doing so requires all kind of public API to control the policy. This should be implemented at the application layer (or at least a layer above OkHttp).
