RE: CGIDEV2 and non-buffered output -- WEB400

If you go to Steve Gibson Research (http://grc.com/) and run the shields up
demo (open ports probe on your firewall), a web page is shown incrementally
as various firewall ports are tested. Non buffered output. That's what I'd
like to achieve.

Will try the *FINI trick soon. I was thinking maybe someone already tried it
and some knowledge sharing could occur. I will report results when I get a
chance to try it.

I agree, for quickly-processed pages, there will be little or no perceived
difference. However, the reason I'm asking is I will have a long-running
process for which I want to show results as they occur (multi-step process)
instead of the whole page at once. It's better if I can show something
happening over a minute/2 minute period. I don't agree the browser is best
for the particular report I've been tasked to create, but am trying to
accommodate.

What's the difference?  It really won't be displayed until
the entire HTML page is loaded anyhow.

As far as if calling *FINI multiple times will work, you
should try and let us know.  I don't think you'll notice
much difference, if any though.
