You could perhaps try adding this meta tag to the html

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2"/>

    As the third sentence of my original post says, I know that I can have the browser periodically refresh. This is not what I'm looking for. The browser will refresh every N seconds (N=2 in your case) with a flicker, but the file updates only every few minutes. I don't want the browser to poll, I want to tell the browser when it's time.
