and are trying to send an immediate response to the user while the task
is running. Here is our pseudo-code:
%init
sub long_running_task {
# lottsa long, boring stuff
}

You need $r-flush();
1) Send out header
2) Use $r-print(...) to give some "please be patient" message or something
3) End the first chunk of info with "br\n", so that the browser knows enough
about the page layout to start page output.
4) Use $r-flush();
5) Do your long task
6) Produce rest of
Sorry all, this should have been $r-rflush() - too many r's ... I guess the
additional "r" was meant as a reminder that this is a low-level call, and
flushing buffers results in a performance hit, and should not be done for no
good reason.
