Showing results when available

Sometimes, the server doesn't return the results immediately. In some cases, it even starts to send information, and keep producing it during time (because to produce the desirable set of results imply hitting the backend several times, which takes time).

For example, the results delivery times may be:

  Result 0 (2855 msec)
  Result 1 (3339 msec)
  Result 2 (3343 msec)
  ...
  Result 9 (6871 msec)

Currently, the client is waiting for everything to finish, and shows the whole page at once (with empty images, though, and after 7seconds, it starts to retrieve the images and show them).

The ideal result is that the first result appear at 2.8s, the second at 3.3s, etc (and that the images start to be retrieved at *that* time).

Pawel told in a mail that these results are handled by SmartScopesClient proxy in scopes middleware, and unfortunately it waits for all results before processing them and pushing them to the shell (via a "dummy" local smart scope).

Marcus added that currently HttpClient is to request uri, and wait for the response. He should change the way QNetworkAccessManager is used to support this.

Thanks!
