In progress scan polling returns weak/confusing messaging #25

Closed claudijd closed 7 years ago

claudijd commented 7 years ago

Scenario:

1.) I use the API to task a scan 2.) I then poll the API periodically to see when the scan is completed 3.) During that window of waiting for the scan, we provide very little feedback to the end user about what's happening (currently just { scan: "not found" } until the scan comes back)

This is particially due to the currently implemented crude queuing strategy in place where it's not maintaining state or bound to the DB in any way. Once this is DB integrated we should provide active status for the end user so they can bubble that feedback back to the user.

Depends on https://github.com/mozilla/ssh_scan_api/pull/2 (the DB integration for the queuing logic)
