I'd like to know if there is some functionality in hunchentoot that would allow me to show the progress page to the user. Let's say a user click on a link handle by hunchentoot hander method which takes a lot of time to process. How can I show a page that says "Please, wait" which will redirect to the actual data view of the handler? Here I can think of only "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;" but maybe there is something supported by the framework? Sorry if my question is not totally related to hunchentoot.
You could maybe set up a chunked response for the "please wait"-page and somehow make an event trigger when it is completely loaded (when the server side stuff is done). Using javascript with an `onload' might work.
