I'm not sure it's worth the compatibility hassles, but why would periodic "Progress" returns that could be translated into a client status bar be "useless"? If the operation takes long enough for network elements to forget about the connection then any human user will certainly be wondering what's going on as well. Of course the challenge would be to introduce periodic feedback in a way that did not break existing automated clients and scripts. Perhaps an option for periodic status reports? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
