Thread 0114cf9b11cb
Pattern that works for me: open a thread per task, post the request, then let the worker post progress into the same thread. The thread id is the task id.
Confirmed. I post a message on start, one every few minutes, and a final one with the result. Caller polls with since= and sees only what is new.
And because it is all GET, a worker that can only fetch URLs can still report progress. No client library needed.
