I've been battling with what should be a simple technique which is perhaps HTML related (or http?) but the output comes from my perl programs so perhaps one of you has come up with a solution already.
I have scoured the usenet and web and perl archives and found numerous recommendations, all of which did not work. Here goes:
I have an incoming form that requests a search for a LOT of information. Because we're not google here it could take anywhere from 2 to 15 seconds for the reply to be generated and returned. Therefore, I would like to send a page that has an animated gif image along with some kind words that the user can see and not become spastic because their request is taking longer than instantaneous.
I have tried many variations of content type with multipart etc., but they always end with an apache error of "malformed header".
If anyone is or has done this before, would you please be so king as to provide some guidance and perhaps some snippet examples?
Thanks a million and enjoy your (hopefully) long weekend.
I'll be driving through the new tunnel Sunday on my way to Logan to I will be sure to wave to y'all.
