One idea:

The first and easy step:

    Open a popup window and let it do a response redirect to itself with 
a built in delay. Showing the progress from the value in a session variable.

The second and hard step:

    Get some feedback about where in the process you are and pass that 
to the session variable.

This can be two transactions, so I am not shure that data can be passed 
in a session variable.



The general idea is to let make a progress page that does the redirect 
to itself, and updates the progress then.

But it is not really a Z3 questions as much as it is a general web 
interface issue.
