Has anyone actually done HTTP streaming in webdna?

My understanding of the basic concept is that the server receives a request= from the browser, then it keeps the connection open via a long running (or= infinite) loop of some kind, and then it periodically pushes new data to t= he outgoing stream and flushes the stream -- without closing the connection= .

I can create a loop in webdna with no problem, but how do I flush the perio= dic data to the stream without the server closing the connection? =A0I have= tried this as a test:

[loop start=3D1&end=3D10]
[waitforfile file=3DdoesNotExist.txt&timeout=3D2][/waitforfile]
[writefile textFile.txt][time][/writefile]
[include textFile.txt]<br>
[/loop]

... but of course this does not work because the page is not rendered until= after the loop stops running. =A0I get these results all at once, but what= I actually want is one line at a time pushed to the stream/browser every 2= seconds:

17:39:36
17:39:37
17:39:39
17:39:40
17:39:41
17:39:42
17:39:43
17:39:45
17:39:46
17:39:47

I know a lot about webdna, but at the moment I cannot think of a way to mak= e this work. =A0Can any of you?

The problem is that webdna does not produce any results or render the page = until ALL the code on the page has been interpreted. Only then will it send= the results to the server -- which then forwards those results on to the b= rowser and closes the connection.

Anyone see any webdna-based alternatives here?

Sincerely,
Kenneth Grome

P.S. =A0As an aside, my test seems to indicate that the timer in "wait= forfile" is not very accurate. =A0The total time for all 10 lines to b= e processed should have been 20 seconds, not 11. =A0Let that be a lesson to= anyone who wants to rely on the accuracy of the waitforfile timer!

P.S. =A0As an aside, my test seems to indicate that the timer in "wait= forfile" is not very accurate. =A0The total time for all 10 lines to b= e processed should have been 20 seconds, not 11. =A0Let that be a lesson to= anyone who wants to rely on the accuracy of the waitforfile timer!
