Course still teaching deprecated SSE transport in GradioΒ #134

@christopherorea

Description

@christopherorea

The course materials in this repository are currently teaching how to use Server-Sent Events (SSE) as a transport mechanism. However, SSE has been officially deprecated by MCP and replaced by Streamable HTTP, which resolves key limitations in SSE:

SSE requires dual endpoints and lacks built-in retry or resume mechanisms.

It presents scalability and recovery challenges in long-running operations.

It doesn't support bidirectional communication and is less compatible with modern HTTP protocols (HTTP/2, HTTP/3).

It would be highly beneficial to update the course content to reflect the recommended transport and guide learners toward best practices using Streamable HTTP instead.
