Wait shouldn't this be open and error events?

Hmm, the way I read the spec/ask here is that if the last-event-id header contains any "unsafe bytes", AND the request is going cross-origin, then we should do a preflight request that contains access-control-request-headers: last-event-id. If the server then responds with access-control-allow-headers: last-event-id, we are okay to send the "unsafe" value to the server. If the server does not respond to the preflight request with that header, it will fail the request. Can you confirm if this is the intended behavior, and if it is not correct, outline what the correct behavior is?

As for the use of success/failure: We could theoretically send back a 400 or something if the preflight wasn't run (thus triggering the error event), but the EventSource API purposely gives very little information on errors (basically nothing at all). If we use the generic error event, it's hard/harder to then detect why the request failed - it could be because of an HTTP error code, because the stream ended (and triggered a reconnect), because the network is down, because of CORS issues etc. I prefer to handle things more explicitly - by sending named events for success/failure we'll have access to the data field and can use that in the error output, eg "expected preflight, did not get one" or "got , expected ". I find it both helps implementers figure out what is going wrong, as well as anyone reading the text/fixture, as the different cases are more explicitly called out.

source.addEventListener('success', this.step_func_done());
source.addEventListener('failure', this.step_func_done((evt) => {
assert_unreached(evt.data);
}));

You can also use this.assert_unreached though I don't think you can output event.data in that case.

As mentioned in the above comment - I prefer to give a helpful error message when possible to help implementers understand which part of the test is failing, which is why I went for the variant where we can provide a message.
