For server-push to work you have to keep the connection to the browser open and send something like a multipart message with several installments, each of them replacing the previous one. This, BTW, only works with Netscape, Exploder does not support server-push. I have written a CGI-script for a chatroom that way. Since it's CGI and not mod_perl, it's outside the scope of this group, however, check out http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/linbendphul and http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/gimyarzah . - Gerd.
