Long running tasks

Some tasks might take a long time to run on the server. In this case, they might need to run beyond the allotted timeout period on the server.

If the server detects a request is about to timeout, but the task has not yet been completed, it will return an HTTP status of 201 (created) along with a <continue> element to the client. This <continue> element will provide a URL that the client can use to access the task in progress.
