Incremental Updates

Hi,

More a pure Ajax question that SAU, but is there a way you can
increment status messages back to the client when calling a long
running request? i.e. if I have a request which calls a remote page,
which in turn sends back a message after each function has completed
can you incrementally tell the client that "function 1 has
finished" (while the system has moved on to step 2), "function 2 has
finished" etc.  I know I can send back simple messages on a page
complete via standard Ajax status calls but I was wondering if it was
possible using headers or some other mechanism to incrementally tell
the client what is going on.

Cheers

Neil
