OK, I have a need to send a large request to a server running ASP::PERL and to have the server post back progress to the calling page. Basically -> tell server to upload a whole bunch of files in a file share, then update a div on the client as each file is checked for error/uploaded/success or fail.
Is there a way to put some callback function in the backend ASP page to call a clientside JavaScript function on the loaded page? This has to work in a loop on the server, so basically a pingback from the server to the client as each file is uploaded until all files are checked/uploaded.
You might get some mileage from this post. topic is bulk email but the strategy will work for your requirement..
