There are two potential solutions here, the first is to send a browser ping to keep the connection alive. Easy do do with HTTP 1.1 I think, just send an empty HTTP chunk.
It's been a while so that things must have improved but I've seen issues with this approach, notably with proxies not always handling 1.1 that well. An alternative is to return a complete HTTP response immediately and then have the browser poll every n seconds to avail itself of the replication status.
