Server push has been dead for some time- IE5 doesn't even support the
x-multipart-replace header. The known IE5 "workaround" is to just send 
entire <html>..</html> bodies in sequence w/o additional header info, 
but you probably shouldn't invoke heavy browser voodoo unless you're 
seriously `charmed'.

A lesser (and safer) magic would be to insert a javascript snippet 
in each page. The javascript opens the window and makes the request for 
/core/info.html. Install an appropriate mod_perl content filter for 
"<Location /userdir>" with a line like

s/<body>/<body onLoad='open("/core/info.html", "other_window")'>/io;

Some variation on this might do the trick.
