This is a limitation of the web in general isn't it? In the web development world, each request is a unique call to the server... so there is no such thing as "progress." You request something, and the server responds. Even in the case where you pass over the processing to a daemon of some kind, you still must repeatedly request the status of that worker process, by individual web requests.
If you use an java applet or something of that nature, than you can get that kind of feedback, but then you are no longer using web requests, or even a web server. The connection necessary for this type of real time, progress feedback requires a persistent connection to the server, generally this traffic is handled via a different protocol altogether. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
