setinterval() requests piling up in slow response #40

Closed lo-co closed 8 years ago

Didn't realize this would happen, but apparently the setinterval() function will back up when the server responds too slow (i.e. when we are trying to push a lot of data over).

Somehow we must use the promise to determine whether the function has returned or not...

Fixed this by

Adding a flag to indicate a call is out and
Chaining the finally(function(){}) promise to $http

Needs testing with big data...
