task-runner's Issues

Add caching option for POST

Allow user to specify content of POST as a key. The key should be used to identify the task in a same way the URLs are used now.

Allow WorkerCount to be zero

The motivation is to allow for multiple HTTP servers to be running.

Implement simple read-only web-client

Functionality:

• Task list
• Wait page for a given task,
  • Support redirect to given URL
• Finished task overview
  • Show status, start, end, id ..
  • Link to created files

Add support for mime types

We should support some subset of common mime-types for files served from public folder.

Add lazy load for tasks

For some tasks there might be hundred of thousand instances, loading all of takes a lot of time. While this is required for tasks that should be executed it is not necessarly true for readOnly tasks.

So we need to add lazyLoad option for readOnly tasks. If the option is checked the tasks are not pre-loaded into the application.

Add environment based configuration

The task definition can be deployment specifi. As of now different definitions must be used for different environments. We can mitigate that by allowing user to specify environment variables in the task configuration and definition.

Serve .gz files

We need an option to serve gzipped files from the public directory. If turned on this should be transparent. For example, user request file.txt, if there is file.txt in public directory it should be served. If there is no such file but there is file.txt.gz it should be served instead.

Add time to live option

There should be an option in task definition that can be used to define when the task should be deleted. For example user should be able to define that a task should be deleted in two weeks. There may not be a strict definition when the detele should happen, the delete can be carreid out by some periodic operation once upon a time.

The TTL can be set in minutes and should be evaluated from the last task change.
