does anyone know how i would go about implementing server push with ie.

apparently only netscape(yuck) supports this, and i am interested in any alternatives that leave the http stream open.

any information will be appreciated.

thanks,
adam

well, even though its server push, i guess its still half way client side. for some reason, ie doesnt seem to understand

Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=unf

it recognizes it as a valid MIME header, but doesn't know what to do with it after that. it leaves the stream open because the program doesn't end, and i have $| = 1, but, it doesn't seem to realize i want a new page after my boundary.

i've been testing, and netscape works fine, but ie doesn't seem to support it.

and, i don't have the pleasure of using apache, unfortunately im forced to use IIS, but, considering my script works for netscape, i don't think the problem is in the webserver.

so, if you know of any alternative that ie does support, i'd be greatful.
