TThread.Synchronize needs a TThread as the first parameter.
This is my work in progress

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cKdQmCQw7p/

The main difference from the previous pastebin is that I subclass 
TFPHTTPConnection to add a TThread field and override the 
CreateConnectionThread to add the thread reference to the connection.
And I added more parameters to the server thread to pass on events from 
the main thread.


Tlogger is a simple class defined in utils.pas (not included) that logs 
messages.

The idea is that every time a new sse connection comes in, I notify the 
main thread (not yet implemented), then in DoSendConnect I enter a loop 
where I get the data from the main thread (with synchronize) then wait 
on an event (that the main thread signals every time the data changes). 
If there is no new data, every 10 seconds I send an empty message as a 
keepalive.


So, I need synchronize:

  - to notify a new connection
  - to get data for that connection
  - to notify that the connection terminated
