Descrizione
I tried to launch DevTools in a cloud editor that doesn't support SSE (its connections will just hang indefinitely) and it failed to load (just leaving a white screen after printing the version number to the console).
The network tab looks like this:

I can't easily confirm, but I think it will be hanging on this `await` here:
https://github.com/flutter/devtools/blob/43b2f5ea102fede6aa4776510858775acc31c6df/packages/devtools_app/lib/main.dart#L28
That `init()` call tries to use storage which will be a `ServerConnectionStorage` because `DevToolsServerConnection.connect` does not return null here:
https://github.com/flutter/devtools/blob/f38f4acde909be516b3de172405d48b6b484ea70/packages/devtools_app/lib/src/config_specific/framework_initialize/_framework_initialize_web.dart#L18-L23
It doesn't return null, because in `connect()` the call to `api/ping` works fine (it's not SSE), which then unconditionally creates an `SseClient`:
https://github.com/flutter/devtools/blob/86102bdec15a0a5fb3fb70ab98e8ff4e5e50141c/packages/devtools_app/lib/src/server_api_client.dart#L28
_If_ we want to support this, I think there are two options:
1. Support WebSockets instead of SSE for this API (DWDS already has some abstractions over SSE+WebSockets that could probably be taken)
2. Change this code to detect that SSE is not responsive and return `null` (this would effectively disable the server though, which may affect some functionality)
@devoncarew @jacob314 I don't know if this is currently worth pursuing, but thought it was worth capturing the issue somewhere perhaps to come back to.

Direzione di ricerca
Inizia in packages/devtools_app/lib/main.dart, alla chiamata await init(), quindi segui DevToolsServerConnection.connect in _framework_initialize_web.dart e la creazione di SseClient in server_api_client.dart. Determina come dovrebbe essere gestito un proxy senza SSE reattivo e verifica che DevTools non rimanga più bloccato su una schermata bianca in quell'ambiente.
