Progressive JPEG?  It sounds like you're talking about pushing JPEGs in a
multipart/x-mixed-replace stream, a la camserv.  The CVS tree contains 
support for both multipart streaming and MJPEG-over-RTP.

Yes, and I found that method so distasteful that I wrote Spook.  :-)

It's easy enough to create an HTML file on a usual webserver with the
refresh header set in a meta tag.  I know several users are doing this.  
This gives you the flexibility to format the page and set up the refresh
any way you like, instead of using something hard-coded into Spook.

Thanks for the compliment!  And if you set up a public Spook server,
please post about it here...  -Nathan
