I implemented some controller functions which are getting some data from a backend system. This may take more than one minute depending on the amount of informations to download. I would like to show the progress of the download tasks on the users web browser. response.flash or session.flash is only informative after the job has completed, but not during processing (within a controller function (looping)). Is there something like "tail -f" while the function fetches the data ? is there a way to do this with native web2y features or is there a jquery feature available ? I tried the progressbar from http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/8 this is good, but i would like to be more verbose... for example progress bar with a corresponding text per download step (within my loops).
