I believe there is an HTTP status code that tells the browser that

this case.
Would that be 204 No Content?

I've never used that before. I wonder if the various browsers behave properly when they get that?
I'd hope they would. It is part of the HTTP protocol. A script should just need to do:
<code to do something with data> print "HTTP/1.1 204 No Content\r\n\r\n";
to make it work, I believe. I'm not that good with CGI.pm yet, so I can't remember the official CGI.pm way of returning something besides '200 OK'. Anyone else?
