I started looking at this a couple of months ago but ran into a brick
wall trying to get the server to flush STDOUT to return data
incrementally.

Subject: [WEB400] push data from server to client web browser
Any of you pushing data from server to client web browser? We want to
push data from our System i to browser-based executive dashboard, and
display ten rows of data from a DB2 table on our System i.
Evidently it is possible, as I found that Google already had this in
their predictive spell-ahead: "push data from server to client"
Lots of explanation at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology
including a link to chapter 6 of the O'Reilly book on doing server push
with CGI programming.
Push technology, or server push, describes a style of Internet-based
communication where the request for a given transaction originates with
the publisher or central server. It is contrasted with pull technology,
where the request for the transmission of information originates with
the receiver or client. The wikipedia article pointed to this CGI
explanation in
