That was exactly what I had in mind earlier :)

No, flush() flushes the output buffer, it doesn't tear down the TCP
connection. I agree that it's only needed once, though, after the static
elements have been written.
But one thing: the <script> elements should be *within* the <html> element.
All the browsers I know will render a page before they receive the final
</html> anyway.

Did you all note that this won't work on windoze servers anyway?

I assume that the sleep() is just there so we can see what's going on?
