Live output / flush

[amenk]

For longer running commands, such as wget or pv with progress indication, is it possible to flush output and make it visible to the webbrowser while running?

[msoap]

In the current code base this is difficult to implement. Refactoring required.

for me: can be use os/exec.StderrPipe()/StdoutPipe() instead of CombinedOutput()

That would be definitely a benefit, is it planned for the future or no chance?

[msoap]

Planned but unfortunately not quickly.

Just commenting here to follow this thread.. interested on this implementation

@msoap Do you think you'll ever get to this (It's been 5 years already)? And if not, do you have any other project suggestion that may have this working?

[msoap]

@thebiblelover7 unfortunately, not yet

do you have any other project suggestion that may have this working?

it depends on your task, but maybe it will help you https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd

@msoap ok, thanks for that suggestion! I'll definitely check that out!

Also, thanks for this awesome project, I'm really putting some good use to it!

This would definitely be a great addition. I'll just add that although this could be combined with the -timeout argument, it could be that we need a different timeout on these requests, since they are, well... longer...

I would also suggest you to set up sponsorship. This is a really helpful project and would certainly benefit from some love.
