To get a good understanding of what goes on here, have a read of Suffering from Buffering, by MJD.

    It'll probably be sent out to the browser... but that doesn't mean that the browser will indeed try to display it. I've noticed that a browser tends to buffer whhat it gets back from the server, too. Usually it does work if you emit long strings, for example, several k of whitespace.

    Not ideal, of course.
