Unless I'm mistaken in my understanding of your issue, this is kind of what AJAX was really meant for. You can certainly post something, and then do a get on whatever it was you posted to to get a response. You might want to take a polling approach where you set a javascript timer or timeout to do the get request after a certain amount of time to allow the service to do its work. You're just making two AJAX calls on the page, instead of one. Here is an example for you, its a shoutbox module I wrote in PHP using javascript. It isn't using jQuery (to eliminate dependencies) but you can get the idea

I force buffer flush in PHP with ob_start, and ob_flush, I know that I can set target='iframeID' to my form, but I need ajax and target should be div. Thanks
