I’m not an expert on http request so this question might be trivial for some. I’m sending a request to a php script which takes a lot of time to process a file and return a response. Is there a way to send a response before this script finishes its task to let the user know about the process status? Since this task can take up to several minutes I’d like to notify the user when key parts of the process are finished.

Note: I cannot break this request into several others

I might not have the correct approach here if so do you have other ideas how this could be handled?

    Technically yes, but it would require you to have fine grained control of the http-stack, which you may or may not have in a typical php setup. I would suggest you look into other solutions (E.g. Make request to start the task – then poll to get an update on the progress)
