How long did you run OmniWeb for?

The client would just have to recognise the boundary and then buffer that image, replace the existing one and start buffering the next one. Easy.
I'm guessing Firefox would probably handle MJPG pretty well. I've got
a reference MJPG generator written, I just need to hook it into
Gopher. I think I'll do that tonight.

I'd like to see that. Just a guess: you could just wget to dump the
feed out to Gopher.
