[Zope] Uploading files

[David Pratt]

Hi Tino.  I was reading this and I was looking at incorporating some 
kind of response to users while processing a time consuming script.  I 
was thinking about just putting up an animated gif that says 
'Processing' (or something similar or to send some text advising where 
they are in the processing).  I am trying to understand what you are 
saying about the return. If at the end of the process you did something 
like a return or redirect will this not work properly? Is there a 
script example that you can point me to that demonstrates a 
context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.write() admidst processing somewhere to 
provide feedback while processing. Many thanks.

Regards,
David
