Some alternatives are given on the following page:
<http://wp.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/pushpull.html>. Probably the
most interesting is the "Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace" method.

You can see this in action by finding a bug at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/>. A page is displayed while the search is
in progress. The page is replaced when the search results are available.
