I think what he ment is that:
1. Access http://initiate-2-hour-process.cgi
This runs the script which writes to an HTML file and
returns an HTTP header with redirects the browser to another
URL. The script forks into the background so the parent returns
the HTTP redirect (if evrything startted fine) and the son runs
the long-term process whic writes to poll-the-html-file.html
2. The browser goes to the redirected URL:
http://poll-the-html-file.html
This is the file being generated by the 2 hour process child. Its
content can tell the browser to come back and re-fetch the file
every few seconds/minutes. In addition, it content might show progress
like time of last update and number of records processed so far and
such.
Does that make better sense?
