I havent looked at www.metacrawler.com but this is how I do my 'Please Wait'
screen.
The key is the META Tag. At runtime I replace ~report_factory_url~ with some
long GET URL.

Subject: updating the output page...
hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how www.metacrawler.com produces
the status screen
when you do a search. (and how i could do a similar thing with jserv,
as i have some reports that
take several minutes to generate).
Doing a 'save as html' produced the following curious results:
--TextString
Content-Type: text/html
<html><head><title>MetaCrawler getting results: dummy
search</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face="Arial, Helvetica">
<h2>Getting results for query: dummy search</h2></font>
<p>
<h3>Infoseek: 10 references returned.</h3>
(snip)
<h4>Waiting, 0 sources left.</h4>
<h3>Finished, sending hits...</h3>
</body>
--TextString
Content-Type: text/html
(second page complete with <html><body> etc)
