[jQuery] Read AJAX response in transit?

[jQuery] Read AJAX response in transit?


Hi all,
Is there any way to use jQuery to "stream" an AJAX response as it's
downloading?
For example, I'm running a long script via AJAX and I want to post
progress updates on the screen as it goes - at certain intervals I
output a percentage via the AJAX script which my page can then read and
update on screen.
Does this make sense, and is it possible?
Regards,
