[Pulp-list] Minor usability problem with stale cached login credentials

[Jay Dobies]

I forget if I told you, but the set_progress method in the conduit has 
been wired up to the tasking subsystem and repo sync has been made to be 
an asynchronous call. I'd point you to docs on it, but it's so recently 
added that we haven't written them yet. Here's a quick rundown:

Check out the bottom of 
https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/CoordinatorProgrammingGuide The call 
report is what's returned from the REST call when you trigger an 
asynchronous task.

Inside of there, the progress field will contain what your importer 
specified the last time it called set_progress.

I'm pretty sure that the REST serialized call report contains an href 
back into the server to request an updated version of the call report. 
My code is assembling that URL using '/v2/tasks/%s/' and substituting in 
task_id. I poll until the state field is one of the three completed 
states: finished, error, cancelled. FYI, suspended is listed on that 
page but not current in use.

This stuff should be in the current QE build 
(http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/dev/testing/, build 
0.277). Sorry for the really thin overview, if you have more questions 
don't hesitate to ask.
