Bug Description
As a follow-on from <https:/
It might be nice if Launchpad let a client use a long GET <http://
Getting there requires a few nontrivial changes:
* launchpad appservers and front ends must be able to cheaply support long-lived requests, by extending their timeout and having reasonably-cheap per-request state
* once the cookie is accepted, a message needs to be sent to the http server to tell it to reply to the client. (there seems little point in polling internally.)
In my opinion this is not a very compelling case for it, because OAuth granting is infrequent and not performance-
summary: |
- launchpad should notify when oauth is accepted using long GET + launchpad api clients have to poll to find out when an oauth token has + been handed out |

If Robert hadn't asked for it, I'd say this was a a Won't Fix.
