Description Szymon Brandys

I think there is a place for improvements in our task framework. If there is a task-based operation and it finishes quick, we could just return the result immediately instead of sending the task location. We could define how long we wait for the result and after this time we could just get the task location and start polling.

I assume that it is me that will be doing this task. If somebody wants to do it let me know.

This one is partially done: all that is left the we should allow to define the timeout by the client (right now it's only set on the server side).

Folks, can we mark this one as done ? I'm thinking that allowing the user to set something as deep as the task response timeout is micro-management (i.e. would users know or care that such an option is available ?). As long as the time makes sense for us...

Oops, I may have misunderstood the last comment. If this is just a way for the client code to define what the timeout is then that's fine since certain pages may benefit from a different timeout.

I was thinking that we'd have a user preference which would be a bad idea IMO.
