Show console output as it gets printed [feature request]

[auipga]

Some of my custom commands can take a few minutes to complete.
It would be nice to see its output before the command completes.

Did anyone ever thought about such functionality? Would be a very nice enhancement :)

Any ideas how to solve that?

Currently the output of the commands get send to the client immediately.
If the commands are long running, the output would need to be buffered on the server and then polled by the client as the single http connection can probably not be kept open several minutes.

Another approach could be to handle everything via websocket. That would also allow interactive console commands to be used.

But the current architecture is targeted at hosting situations in which you do not have ssh access and probably are not able to start a websocket server process.

But as always pull requests are very welcome!
