Does Tomcat support Server Push?

[Bill Taylor <wa...@agentwaresystems.com>]

A content type of

multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=End\n
\n
--End\n
Content type: text/html\n
<document>
--End\n
\n

Supposedly lets the server push a new page image to the client at will.

I have tried to do this with Tomcat by setting the content type and
sending successive pages in a loop, but all the pages come out as text
at the same time.

Is there a known way to support server push with Tomcat?

Thanks.

It's not Tomcat, it's the browser. IE doesn't support server push -- which I
think is stupid, but I'm sure there's a reason. Netscape is the only browser
I know that supports multipart/x-mixed-replace.
