I want to avoid clients timing out while waiting for a server response on
long requests. According the http1.1 spec, you can send http 100 responses
to clients even if they don't expect them.

Is there a way to write out a 100, and then send the real response later on
without hijacking the connection entirely? (and does anyone know if clients
actually handle this correctly?)

    I don't think this is a good idea.

    Clients don't handle it well.

    If you control the clients, make them ignore the beginning of the payload
    and send dummy bytes at the beginning. If it's a JavaScript client, send a
    "processing" progress bar to them, flushing out the percent done, followed
    by 100% and then the real payload.

    Ha, yeah me too

    Clients don't handle it well.
    This is what I figured, but wasn't to try anyways.

    If you control the clients, make them ignore the beginning of the payload
    and send dummy bytes at the beginning. If it's a JavaScript client, send a
    "processing" progress bar to them, flushing out the percent done, followed
    by 100% and then the real payload.
    Unfortunately I don't control all the clients. What I'm most concerned
    about atm is Cloudfront, where I want to get the result into their cache,
    but expensive requests cam time out before I know how to reply. It looks
    like cloudfront retries after a timeout, so I may setup a short-lived local
    cache to catch these.
