[katello-devel] Async Jobs as resources

[Dmitri Dolguikh]

We now have a few calls that are executed asynchronously and return 202 
status with TaskStatus object, instead of the actual entity. Some 
examples are:

POST /api/repositories/:id/sync
POST /api/providers/:id/sync

I think we should acknowledge the fact that async tasks are a resource 
on their own, and give them a dedicated url, something like:

POST /tasks/sync/provider/:id
POST /tasks/sync/repository/:id

to initiate a sync process.

To get the status:

GET /tasks/:id

or perhaps we should be more specific:

GET /tasks/sync/:id

What do you think?
-d
