Hi --

I have web page foo.html which may or may not exist. If it doesn't, a Mason dhandler jumps in to build it, then redirects over to it. This works.

The user gets just waits while the page builds. To the user, the delay seems like an inexplicably long page load time with no progress.

How could, in Mason, send out a visible page stating "Please wait while page builds...", then automatically redirect over to the correct page when it was ready?

Better, how might I send incremental progress messages to the browser "Building page...", "Foozle build completed...", "Woozle build completed...", "Page built, redirecting (click here if browser doesn't redirect on its own)"

Thanks
