Christian already mentioned the progress information for the standalone mode. You can also get this information by running your server using the -d flag, which will output the same information as in the standalone mode. However, this is then of course output on the server side and not send to the client in any way. But I would guess you also have control over the server, so you could monitor this output in some way (e.g. logging to a file). Maybe this helps a little.

Hi Bryan,

while this seems like a desirable feature, it's difficult to realize
because the client/server architecture does not support any
intermittent progress feedback, and such a extension would lead too
many open questions reg. all other client-based interfaces.

If you use the standalone mode of the BaseX command-line client,
however, you will get some progress information by turning on the -d
flag. I guess you figured this out anyway..
