Hi all, I'm not even sure if this is possible with JavaScript at the moment, but it would make a powerful feature if it were.
If returning a list of resources as the response to a request, it's relatively trivial to configure the app (in Django at least) to flush the stream after each resource and provide a semi real-time feed of results, ie you don't have to wait for the last item to be calculated before the first one is returned. This uses Content-Encoding chunked. I was thinking that if jQuery could somehow recognise these types of response, it could iterate over these individual resources as they come over the wire, then the callback would be given individual items rather than the full response. This would make AJAXy functionality even more responsive because you can start handling parts of the response before the server has even finished generating the later parts. Maybe this is already possible, but I couldn't have any documentation or mention of it. Any thoughts on this idea?
