nxapi upload file timeout problem

[munroe]

I'm trying to use the nxapi to upload a new image to a bunch of switches.  However, because the api seems to want to wait for the command to finish before sending a return, I get timeouts.  It takes anywhere from 10-15minutes to upload the image (CoPP likes to slow things down).  Is there a way to "background" the file upload in the nxapi command?  I don't think increasing my HTTP timeout to 10-15minutes is a great idea.

Hello,

which nxapi command are you using ? Both HTTP and HTTPS can be used, do you get the timeout with both ?

The timeout is designed.  My client sets a timeout for ~30 seconds.  I shouldn't have to leave an HTTP[S] connection open for 15-20 mins while the switch uploads a file via SCP.  I'm trying to figure out a way, in programming terms, to use a callback or an async interface so the switch will just return 200 OK and start the upload
