I would like to write a small progress message to the bottom left corner of the browser window where browsers show links when hovering, or waiting for data etc. See image below for a better explanation.

i.e. I would like to write to the grey part in the attached picture which is currently showing the link 'http://ift.tt/1lHNiwM'. It needs to be generic method, e.g. works in Chrome, FF, IE, but happy if its only in modern, HTML5 browsers.
