The *right way* to do this is with server push, but I'm not sure xitami 
will do server push. The other way is by having your program create and 
update a progress page, and setting the browser to refresh that page every 5 
or 10 seconds. Unfortunately, that means that if you have 2 or more people 
connected, you will have to work out some scheme to be sure each 
sees the progress page which is being updated by *their* copy of the 
cgi program. Push is easier, perhaps you will want to change server 
software.
