Internet explorer does not, from my examination of the available literature, support server push, at least not in any way I could get it to work.
However, I did notice that a meta refresh tag in the middle of a document is still (at least under some circumstances) honored, so what we did was: print out a "please wait" type page, with enough text that it gets written out right away. This was done with ns_write in an adp. start the long process when the process is done, send a (around 100 spaces) <html> <meta refresh blah blah> </html> The refresh goes to the "correct" ending page. The point of this is, the page with the submit button is pretty much immediately replaced with the please wait page. If you don't do this, the page with the submit button hangs around until the long process is done, inviting the user to resubmit or cancel the job. The please wait page lets them know Something is Working. Having a "cancel" button on this page might be nice.
