Multiple Response AJAX request

Viewed 29893

Is there a way to have one AJAX request with multiple responses?

For example, if make a GET request to the server which will take a long time to calculate, how could I have the server occasionally send back responses which give me some data about the progress?

If so, could somebody post an example, preferably with Jquery and an explanation of the mechanism through which the server can does it?
