title: Send request progress to client side via nodejs and express
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://github.com/contentful/contentful-export" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this (contentful-export)</a> library in my express app like so</p>
  
  <pre><code>const app = require('express');
  
  ...
  
  app.get('/export', (req, rex, next) =&gt; {
    const contentfulExport = require('contentful-export');
    const options = {
       ...
    }
    contentfulExport(options).then((result) =&gt; {
       res.send(result);
    });
  })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now this does work, but the method takes a bit of time and sends status / progress messages to the node console, but I would like to keep the user updated also.. is there a way I can send the node console progress messages to the client??</p>
  
  <p>This is my first time using node / express any help would be appreciated, I'm not sure if this already has an answer since im not entirely sure what to call it?</p>
