I've been trying for a while to get a server push splash page to work using the obscure 'multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=whatever' header in perl, but after hours of experimenting and frustration am finding it impossible to write a script that works.

I’ve searched the internet for information both about server push splash pages in perl and the header declaration but all of the information I can find is either incorrect or very vague.

I’ve also found a couple of examples but none of them work reliably. Also does anybody know if IE supports 'multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=whatever' because the one example I even got to slightly work only did so in Netscape.

Thanks in advance for any help or assistance you may be able to offer.
