Stream fetch response body to a text box

I currently have a button which sends a request, waits for the full response, and then displays the response body in a text box. Because the response can take up to 2 minutes to complete (but produces output throughout the duration of the request), I would like to stream the response body as it becomes available. Is this possible in Corvid?

My current code is:

import {fetch} from 'wix-fetch';
 
export function onClick(event, $w) { 
 //Add here the URL of the CRM API , the method type is "post"
    $w("#button").disable();
    $w("#outputbox").value = "";
    fetch('https://some.external.service/', 
          {method: 'post', 
           body: $w("#inputbox").value,
           crossDomain: true}
        )
        .then( (httpResponse) => { 
 if (httpResponse.ok) {    
 return httpResponse.text(); 
            } else { 
                Promise.reject("Fetch did not succeed");
 return "Failed to contact server."; } 
            } ) 
        .then(text => {
                $w("#outputbox").value = text; 
                $w("#button").enable();
            })
       .catch(err => console.log(err));
}

Thank you!

This isn’t so much a Corvid question as a general JS/JQuery question. The answer is not really. Doing this requires programming languages like PHP, C#, or Python. You can however, break up the size of the requests and use setInterval or setTimeout to make requests chunk by chunk and thus load them chunk by chunk.
