I am using gunicorn and flask for a web service. I am trying to get my head around running a streaming route (not sure if that is the correct terminology). my route looks like this: @app.route('/delay') def delay(): from time import sleep def delay_inner(): for i in range(10): sleep(5) yield json.dumps({'delay': i}) return Response(delay_inner(), mimetype="text/event-stream") I expect that the server would yield the output each time that delay_inner does a yield. But, what I am getting is all the json responses at once, and only when the delay_inner finishes execution. What am I missing here? --EDIT-- I have fixed the issue for Flask and Gunicorn, I am able to run it as expected by using the flask server, and by going to the Gunicorn port. It streams the data as expected. However, and I should have mentioned this in the original post, I am also running behind nginx. And that is not set up correctly to stream. Can anyone help with that?
