Looks like it's more that just a tweak, though :-(
So, how can I use this method? I do not understand the internals of the ZServer completely.
You've got a RESPONSE object. For HTTP stuff, it will be a HTTPResponse as defined in lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPResponse.py. You can use the write(self, data) method of this response object to stream data directly to your client, independent (to a degree) of Zope's transaction processing. This is the method from HTTPResponse. def write(self,data): """\ Return data as a stream HTML data may be returned using a stream-oriented interface. This allows the browser to display partial results while computation of a response to proceed. The published object should first set any output headers or cookies on the response object. Note that published objects must not generate any errors after beginning stream-oriented output. """ if not self._wrote: self.outputBody() self._wrote=1 self.stdout.flush() self.stdout.write(data) So, you could set output headers and cookies as needed, then, before the rest of the processing on your page, have a <dtml-call "RESPONSE.write('the top of the page')">. Then again, I've never tried this. YMMV and all that. (*off to help cook... won't be reading email for a while*) -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
