It could show you that nothing is being transmitted until the script
completes. It could also show that the data is being transmitted line by
line, which means that it's the browser that is holding off on displaying
the list until it's complete.

I believe you've gotten that answer crossthread.

IME, the only reliable way to get this to work is to make javascript
xmlhttp requests (in json or something) for each line separately.

I've gotten the approach of making one xmlhttp request, and parsing the
incomplete results, work on FF, but not on IE (which only delivers the
received data to the callback on completion).
