Hi! Can anyone suggest the best approach for handling multi-part response. In my application I have a requirement, a typical requirement in most web applications. I have a huge report getting generated from the Database. Now, while the report is getting generated and the user is waiting, I want to display some kind of "Please wait....." message, to inform the user that the report is being generated.
The Netscape server push is not a choice as Internet Explorer is preffered browser with the user group. The REFRESH in the META tag has some problems with the latest version of IE. Moreover, I wanted to avoid the continuos refreshing of the page and the flickering effect on the screen due to the same. Another approach I can think of is sending a dummy response and on the load of this dummy page, send a new request that waits at the server-end till the report is generated. Does anyone have any performance benchmarks or some pros and cons to these approach or any other approach of handling this request.
