jquery - update progress bar using ajax request seconds

Question

Basicaly, I'm performing an AJAX request for an external login system, how can I update the progress bar based on the length of the request?

For example, the request takes between 1.30s to 1.40s to complete, how can I update an progress bar based on certain intervals, like update it 10% every 10ms or something, here's the HTML layout for the progress bar

<div class="progress progress-striped active">
    <div class="progress-bar"  role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="65" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 65%">
        <span class="sr-only">65% Complete</span>
    </div>
</div>

The length of the progress bar is determined using the width: 65% attribute

The idea is to basically get it to look like it's updating based on the request so when the request is complete the percentage bar is full

I think this post is quite clear http://www.dave-bond.com/blog/2010/01/JQuery-ajax-progress-HMTL5/

Posting this for future reference (should the blog be removed):

$.ajax({
     xhr: function(){
       var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest();
       //Upload progress
       xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", function(evt){
       if (evt.lengthComputable) {
         var percentComplete = evt.loaded / evt.total;
         //Do something with upload progress
         console.log(percentComplete);
         }
       }, false);
     //Download progress
       xhr.addEventListener("progress", function(evt){
         if (evt.lengthComputable) {
           var percentComplete = evt.loaded / evt.total;
         //Do something with download progress
           console.log(percentComplete);
         }
       }, false);
       return xhr;
     },
     type: 'POST',
     url: "/",
     data: {},
     success: function(data){
    //Do something success-ish
    }
 });
