From what I can tell, the <timeout> option in the DFM 6.3 does not do anything. The API description makes it sound like it would support long-polling, but the following request immediately returns 0 results on my system, completely ignoring the timeout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netapp xmlns="http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin" version="1.0">
<event-iter>
<greater-than-id>40006</greater-than-id>
<timeout>30</timeout>
</event-iter>
</netapp>
Am I using it wrong, or is it supposed to do something else?
